The Mikado

This classic comic operetta tells the story of Nanki-Poo, son of the Mikado of Japan, who escapes the court to avert marriage to the elderly Katisha. Disguised as a rhythm guitarist, he falls in love with Yum-Yum, who is betrothed to a tailor named Ko-Ko. With a chorus of Japanese businessmen and anime schoolgirls, this updated re-telling of The Mikado is surefire crowd-pleaser.

Sat. Feb. 2: 2pm

That’s Another Story

Six Broadway characters find themselves in New York City following their respective shows having come and gone. Times have changed! Max Bialystock (The Producers) can’t compete on Broadway with the gimmicks of puppets and celebrities in other shows. Yenta (Fiddler on the Roof) sees matchmaking falling apart when faced with online dating and single chat lines. Amos Hart (Chicago) is unnoticed, but can’t help but notice Liesel (The Sound of Music), who can’t seem to land a part. They work together when the Narrator (Into the Woods) introduces them to a friend who can help. This friend, the Phantom (The Phantom of the Opera), dreams of finding his former glory by shaping Liesel into a star. It all goes horribly wrong, and the cast must find out if they can take each other for who they are.
