THE McADO<\/h2>\n

April 25 to May 10, 2025
\nA comic operetta by Gilbert and Sullivan
\nDirected by Sean Anderson
\nMusic Direction by Winnifred Hume
\nChoreography by Daisy Pond<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the show you love, in a brand new setting! The Mikado has been moved to the highlands of Scotland and becomes The McAdo.<\/p>\n

The McAdo, or \u201cThe Town of Ballydew\u201d, a refreshing take on Gilbert & Sullivan\u2019s The Mikado, featuring all the music and dialogue you know and love, but with a wee Scottish twist\u2026 This new production relocates the beloved comic opera from Japan to a fictional clan in the Scottish Highlands, where warriors and clansfolk combat love, death and obscure laws. With joyous songs, Scottish dances and Highland-inspired dress, this is The Mikado as you\u2019ve never seen it before.<\/p>\n

In this adaptation by Gilbert & Sullivan Austin, Gilbert\u2019s libretto and Sullivan\u2019s score has been kept virtually intact, while the costumes will reflect the Scottish moors. It\u2019s a farcical tale of a wand\u2019ring minstrel, a cowardly executioner, an iron-fisted ruler, and some of the greatest songs in musical theatre!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>
