‘The Hot Mikado’ is a musical comedy, based on Gilbert and Sullivan’s 1930’s production ‘The Mikado‘. It was adapted by David H. Bell and Robert Bowman and while remaining true to the original story and message, the orchestrations and choreography were tweaked to add a jazzier and more up tempo impetus to the shows core. 

The result is a production full of the kind of energy, pizzazz, zing and razzmatazz you could only associate with something of which Phoenix is capable.
