THE MIKADO was wonderful! I took Greg's sister and husband along. I thought they were G&S fans. It turns out they've seen The Mikado several times and my DB-I-L said it was his favorite theatre piece ever. We also had a wonderful dinner at JCT Kitchen.
The one thing that surprised me is the song "I've Got a Little List". I knew this was a historically accurate production, so when the list mentioned Simon Cowell, boy bands, blue tooth, ipods and blackberries ("most of these made in Japan"), governors cavorting with ladies of the night, I thought: "Whaaaaa?"
Then I assumed that when it was originally written, they would update the lyrics to reflect current news items.
Elmore, (or anyone else) do you know if that's the case?
