Gilbert and Sullivan helped shape the modern musical with this tuneful sendup of unqualified politicians and British class tensions, featuring the requisite topsy-turvy plot machinations. Oh, and the score is guaranteed to have you whistling for days.
The Savoyards’ mission includes the educational experience of young talented people rubbing elbows with more seasoned performers and crew. The result is a delightful timeless romp infused with youthful vitality.
