Set in Japan, this satire on English mores of the time weaves the two cultures seamlessly together with humorous lyrics and elaborate plot twists. Nanki-‐Poo, the son of the Mikado, flees his home to avoid an arranged marriage to an older woman only to find himself falling in love with the beautiful Yum-‐Yum, who is also betrothed… to her guardian, Ko-‐Ko, the Lord High Executioner!!! Will Nanki-‐Poo find love or face the wrath of the Mikado for defying his order? Find out in Gilbert and Sullivan’s romp through the mythical and nonsensical fantasy world of The Mikado.
