East meets west in this hilarious 1940’s style update of the G&S favourite

Picture a little town in Japan where flirting is punishable by death. Unsurprisingly, its citizens 
are finding the law a little tiresome! They appoint Ko Ko, a lowly tailor, as Lord High 
Executioner, himself condemned for flirting and so not likely to execute anyone. Throw in the 
beautiful Yum Yum, her ardent admirer Nanki-Poo, errant son of the Mikado, and the man-
eater Katisha, and you have one of Gilbert and Sullivan's most famous comic operas in all its 
wonderful absurdity. Featuring an intoxicating mix of styles and influences, classics such as 
A Wand’ring Minstrel I and Three Little Maids are transmuted into show-stopping blues, 
swing, hot gospel numbers and scorching torch songs.

Welcome to the swinging streets of Titipu!
