in response to all the "how this should be played" commentary...The Mikado is a social commentary of England that happens to be set in Japan...the Japanese setting is entirely superficial. Almost everything about G & S is social comedy and sattire

Well jyoung78.
I have been watching and taking part in G&S in the UK for over 40 years.Yes,there is a fine line between camp and kitsch,but I think this definitely errs on the camp(acceptable) side.
Sadly,if we want to bring G&S to more people we have to make it more immediate,we certainly cannot go back to basics for a high school recital,and I think they sang very well,and restricted their " high jinks" to what was necessary to the libretto.
G&S should always be fun,and this WAS fun!

It's actually faculty members performing for high school students of a performing arts camp. It's meant to be silly.

I think it was just a small school play, not a huge production.
It's mean't to be over the top, relax!

Absolutely delightful

haha that was fantastic!

Actually, the intention of Gilbert and Sullivan was to satirise British politics by disguising the play as Japanese.

I despise the "let's ham it up and make it so tacky they have to laugh" approach to Gilbert & Sullivan. Perform G & S the way it was meant to be performed. The audience will be entertained without forcing cheap laughs and crying "hey look, we're being goofy. Aren't we funny!"

Pff, it was a faculty recital for some high school kids. Give it a rest.
