About “Hot Mikado”

Cultures glide and collide in a hilarious and “hot” updating of Gilbert and Sullivan’s perennial classic “The Mikado.” “Hot Mikado” weaves a hilarious tale where despite life or death stakes, characters still find time to tap their toes and do their fair share of scatting.

In a land where outlandish laws sentence people to death for almost any indiscretion, jazz, blues, and gospel are spoken fluently. Find out what happens when the clean lines and color of Japanese design combine with the big band sights and sounds of popular American song and dance! The result is a vibrant and energetic spectacle complete with zany characters, zoot suits, wide brimmed hats, and swing dancing of the 40s that is sure to delight young and old!
