Joel Mardowitz of Broadwayworld.com anticipates the opening writing: "It’s my favorite Gilbert and Sullivan operetta because the puns are a-flying. The hilarious Mikado returns to the Washingto Savoyards, with musical direction by Shawn Burke-Storer, and direction by Cindy Oxberry. The fantastic leads are David William (The Mikado), Allan Palacios Chan (Nanki-Poo), Scott Kenison, (Pooh-Bah), Sean Pflueger (Pish-Tush), Laura Stuart (Yum-Yum), Jennifer Randall (Katisha), Sarah Powell (Peep-Bo), Daniele Lorio (Pitti-Sing), and Jase Parker (Ko-Ko). I can’t wait to hear Jase Parker - the best pitter-patterer I have ever heard - sing “Behold the Lord High Executioner" and tell us how, “I've got a little list — I've got a little list!”
Synopsis:
“Nanki-Poo is escaping marriage to Katisha, Yum-Yum thinks Nanki-Poo is cute and would rather marry him than Ko-Ko, Ko-Ko wants to marry Yum-Yum but would also like to keep his head, and the Mikado would like his son back. Pooh-Bah is, of course, Lord High Absolutely Everything, but Ko-Ko has his little list. Bring some hot Koko, and have a great time!”
