written by David H. Bell (Book and Lyrics) and Rob Bowman (Music Adaptation and Arrangement), Based on The Mikado by W.S. Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan
directed by Cal Chiang
Friday November 14th 2008 — Saturday December 13th 2008

In a land where outlandish laws sentence people to death for almost any indiscretion, jazz, and the blues, and gospel are spoken fluently. Hot Mikado weaves a tale of hilarious proportions and despite the life or death stakes, characters still find time to tap their toes and do their fair share of scatting. Find out what happens when the clean lines and color of Japanese design combine with the big band sights and sounds of popular American song and dance!
