This presentation was tons of fun and I like lots of the choices they made. Not all of the performances were great but enough were that I really enjoyed it. Thanks much for posting.

[@ladysquier]

Well. The Mikado is certainly one of my favorites now!! That was so good!

[@kurichane]

Brilliant!

[@borzoix4]

This is the funniest version I have ever seen. Obviously done in the humor intended by Gilbert and Sullivan to start with..

[@ftbotsb]

That's a very unique interpretation!

[@yumyummoany]

Just so funny!

[@foxxy2808]

I remember doing this musical in jr. high....makes me laugh!

[@AtsukoDevil]

To those who say that this is not what G&S intended, remember why they made the Mikado in the first place - the entertain and "take the piss" out of society. I am certain it is understood that a lot has changed since the 1800's, therefore I am sure they would understand modernisation of their works, so long as people can be educated about and enjoy them. Afterall, they revolutionised/scandalised the Opera world with their works first with the hidden jibes at society

[@maskeddadledingo9627]

Yeah but, this fucking sucks and looks stupid as hell

[@louiseshand7487]

1 actor I was surprised that like Jon English wasn't in all 3 productions was Drew Forsythe I know that Derek Metzger did an awesome job as the Major General but just thought how he'd played older roles in both Mikado and Pinafore would've in Pirates too.

lol im in ty and im in the mikado its on in two weeks!

[@charlesajones77]

I know this is 10 years later but, how did it go? And I'm not trying to funny. I'm a huge G&S fan, and I like to know others' experiences with them.

"Now then,we've had a capital Runch and we're quite Leady" Haha ! Im playing as Mikado .. and school play is on the 25th April.. Wish me luck =D

[@charlesajones77]

Man, that is racist... and kinda accurate. In Japanese L and R are the same sound.

[@onemercilessming1342]

Charles Jones--racist comments are based on stereotypes, not truths. If, in Japanese, l and r are the same sound and literally interchangeable, then that is NOT racist.

[@jo-joal3791]

Anyone here from that’ll teach ‘em

[@maestr0bec]

Any word on this? I would love to see the whole production.

[@voiceboxdrummer]

Dear kazzles79, it is in fact an operreta, not a musical. They've actually added a few lines for comedic effect, and changed an entire role (or augmented it I should say) , which are funny, but this particular production I highly doubt is near what Gilbert & Sullivan intended. Especially in terms of vocal quality, which is quite bad. But all that aside, it IS good and entertaining.

[@banjotails]

the essgee web site sells the dvds of this production and is legit.

[@faizslipknot92]

dude , we're in the same school and doing the play together -.- haha
