‘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.

Based in feudal Japan, the show tells the tale of Nanki Poo and Yum Yum, characters whose love is challenged by the comedic chaos of Japan’s social laws and authority. What follows is a whirl wind of secrets, lies, betrayal, fear and denial, all within the boundaries of a slick tongue in cheek script brimming with the kind of comedic itch and flair you only get from Gilbert and Sullivan.
