Williamstown Musical Theatre Company is proud to present HOT MIKADO running from the 18th to 26th May 2018 at the Centenary Theatre, Williamstown for 6 performances only!
Nanki-poo, hiding a shocking secret, returns to Japan disguised as a wandering minstrel in search of his lover, Yum-Yum – only to find that in his absence she has been betrothed to Ko-Ko, the Lord High Executioner of Titipu. Hot on his trail is Katisha, Nanki-Poo’s jealous and devious fiance, who will stop at nothing to snare Nanki-Poo for herself. Meanwhile, Ko-Ko finds himself in need of a sacrificial victim, since his cowardly nature has prevented him from fulfilling his quota of executions. When Katisha arrives in search of Nanki-poo, and the Mikado herself follows in search of her long lost son, the town is thrown into panic and confusion. Will Nanki-Poo be able to hide his true identity and avoid execution? Will Ko-Ko find himself a suitable candidate to execute? Can true love win the day?
HOT MIKADO is a hilarious and ‘HOT’ updating of Gilbert and Sullivan’s ‘The Mikado’, and weaves a sharp witted, fun-filled tale where despite life or death stakes, characters still find time to croon their troubles away. Set in a fictionalized Japan, at a time when outlandish laws sentence people to death for almost any indiscretion, it is the language of jazz, gospel and the blues that is spoken most fluently.
