| Hot Mikado Premiers in Doha The Doha Players are proud to present the Doha premiere of "Hot Mikado", opening at Awsaj Academy Auditorium 29th May to 1st June 2013. Featuring well-drawn comic characters, toe tapping music, witty dialogue, and vibrantly coloured sets and costumes this show guarantees a fun night at the theatre. Originally run in the West End in 1995, east meets west head-on in this hilarious 1940's-style updating of the Gilbert and Sullivan classic. With the music transformed into jazz, blues, swing and scorching torch songs and 'Three Little Maids' turned into an Andrew Sisters' show-stopper, this zoot-suited, tap-dancing colourful show is certain to provide the ideal evening out for the whole family. Hot Mikado is essentially a musical comedy with a silly and convoluted storyline that allows for light hearted fun. It's a feel good musical where you are invited to suspend any disbelief and allow this talented cast to transport you to a jazz time Japan where an intricate tale of love, honour and the essential upbeat ending will have you laughing, tapping feet and rooting for Nanki Poo to live happily ever after. Doha Players has brought a multinational cast of performers to the stage to create a night of fun and laughter as you join the heir of Titipu, a reluctant executioner and a woman loved by two men in an all-singing, all-dancing colorful show that is certain to provide the ideal evening out for the whole family. Show opens on Wednesday 29th May and runs Saturady 1st June, all shows starting at 7-30pm. Book and lyrics adapted by DAVID H. BELL Music adapted & arranged by ROB BOWMAN Based on "The Mikado" by W.S. Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan. Originally produced at Ford's Theatre, Washington, D.C., Frankie Hewitt, Producing Director. These amateur performances are given by arrangement with Josef Weinberger Ltd. write your comments about the article :: © 2013 Jazz News :: home page |
