Musical Concepts and Arrangements by  Rob Bowman


Two Acts, Book Musical, Thru Sung / Operetta, Rated G


East meets West head-on in this hilarious 1940's-style update of a Gilbert and Sullivan favorite. Featuring an intoxicating mix of styles and influences, classics such as "A Wand'ring Minstrel I" and "Three Little Maids" are transmuted into show-stopping blues, swing, hot gospel numbers and scorching torch songs.  Find out what happens when the clean lines and color of Japanese design combine with the big band sights and sounds of popular American song and dance!

Hot Mikado is an excellent showcase for a culturally diverse cast. The music is stacked with stellar vocal arrangements, pulsing rhythm, and music that makes you and your audience want to get up and dance!
