The McAdo
by Gilbert & Sullivan Austin
Feb. 01 - Feb. 02 (2020)
It’s the show you love, in a brand new setting!
The Mikado has been moved to the highlands of Scotland and becomes The McAdo. Gilbert’s libretto and Sullivan’s score will be kept virtually intact, while the scenery and costumes will reflect the Scottish moors. It’s a farcical tale of a wand’ring minstrel, a cowardly executioner, an iron-fisted ruler, and some of the greatest songs in musical theater!
Stage director Michelle Haché returns after directing “Princess Ida in Concert” in 2019 and “The Gondoliers” in 2016. Michelle starred in “Princess Ida” in 2013 and “The Yeomen of the Guard” in 2010.
Jeffrey Jones-Ragona, returning for his 23rd season as music director, will conduct the Gillman Light Opera Orchestra.
Bill Hatcher returns as production manager.
