The Lyric Stage Company of Boston presents The Mikado, the most popular of Gilbert and Sullivan's classic comic operas. Set in the fictional Japanese town of Titipu (in which flirting is a capital offense), The Mikado tells the story of wandering minstrel Nanki-Poo, who falls in love with the fair Yum-Yum, who happens to be engaged to the town's newly appointed Lord High Executioner. A deliciously intelligent satire, The Mikado's Japanese setting allowed Gilbert and Sullivan to slyly mask their commentary on contemporary British society. This classic and surprisingly modern tale of star-crossed lovers features the beloved tunes "Three Little Maids From School Are We" and "A Wand'ring Minstrel I."

I found the voices to be much to operatic for an operetta. In addition, since one of the leads was ill and was replaced by the artistic director (who held a script as he performed), the magic of theater vanished. Overall, very disappointing.

The performance was very entertaining, mixed with today's state of affairs in the country and past Japanese world. We enjoyed the show but the seats were NOT in the center, but rather, on the side.

Great event, very nice venue. Really good show. Small disappointment in the replacement of KoKo with the manager, who didn't have as strong a voice as the rest of the cast, understandable, but still a wonderful production!
