Based on 'The Mikado' by W.S. Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan

Book and lyrics adapted by David H Bell, Music adapted and arranged by Rob Bowman

Originally produced by Frankie Hewitt at Ford's Theatre, Washington D.C., USA

East meets West in this highly entertaining musical comedy.  It's the forties - a time for swing, hot gospel, blues and American jazz.  Performed on Broadway in 1986, the Hot Mikado is a spoof of the original spoof that lampoons the Victorian bourgeoisie's love affair with all things Oriental.  Gilbert and Sullivan's story and lyrics stay the same as our multi-talented cast sing and dance their way through this high energy musical.
