The Mikado 2012

Our show in 2012 was The Mikado, and was performed in the Seckford Theatre, Woodbridge, from 23 to 27 October 2011 at 7:30 pm (with a matinee at 2:30 pm on Saturday).

Pam White, the local NODA rep, attended and seemed to like it, based on her review.

The Show

Looked like this:

The "Gentlemen of Japan"
"A Wandring Minstrel I"
"And the brass will crash"
"I've got a little list"
"Come over here where the chancellor can't hear us"
"Three little maids from school"
"Schoolgirls we, eighteen and under" (???)
Yum Yum doesn't relish a kiss from the Lord High Executioner
Katisha is not amused
But Pish Tush tries to look on the bright side
The Mikado isn't laughing, either
Ko-ko resorts to entreaty.
But it all ends happily ever after.
