To those who say that this is not what G&S intended, remember why they made the Mikado in the first place - the entertain and "take the piss" out of society. I am certain it is understood that a lot has changed since the 1800's, therefore I am sure they would understand modernisation of their works, so long as people can be educated about and enjoy them. Afterall, they revolutionised/scandalised the Opera world with their works first with the hidden jibes at society

Dear kazzles79, it is in fact an operreta, not a musical. They've actually added a few lines for comedic effect, and changed an entire role (or augmented it I should say) , which are funny, but this particular production I highly doubt is near what Gilbert & Sullivan intended. Especially in terms of vocal quality, which is quite bad. But all that aside, it IS good and entertaining.

@kazzles79 No I do not understand that is true & clear but I am sorry as a singer (classically trained) I disagree with you their singing is only a "pop" sound not what G&S would have wanted. Like I said I have done this show and I prefer the more tradional sound and production.

But Thank You for voicing you comment just like I did mine.

@Operaman41 clearly you don't understand Simon Broadway then! It's supposed to be this way! Personally I think the singing is fantastic! its a different version of Mikado. It was done as a trilogy congrats Simon Gallagher for a brilliant job!!! :)

[Operaman41]

I am sorry I have done this show and it is an opera/operette NOT a broadway musical!!!

The jokes are funny but the choregraphy is HORRIBLE and so is the singing!!!

[joeismine9111]

lol im in a mikado play. im chorus lol

[franssie94]

this is ridiculous

[banjotails]

the essgee web site sells the dvds of this production and is legit.

[jollywigs]

Nothing like as funny as the original! Lumpen sit com and ridiculous innuendos are shown up when the immaculate literary skills of Gilbert are allowed to breathe. Talk about a turkey chasing a swan!

[bestmaster3]

If you check the Esgee website, it looks like they have a DVD for sale, but it has to be what the company is selling itself. I have yet to see a commercial. DVD, but hope to find one.

[borzoix4]

This is the funniest version I have ever seen. Obviously done in the humor intended by Gilbert and Sullivan to start with..

[RegisduGifford]

Love those three little maids singing the part of Pitti Sing.

[ladysquier]
