Ken Ludwig's Sullivan & Gilbert
by Ken Ludwig
Synopsis
This clever show takes place at the Savoy Theatre in 1890.
Gilbert and Sullivan, who have been feuding for years, are forced to work together one more time: Queen Victoria commands a performance of their most popular songs.
Part docudrama, part period comedy, and part "Gilbert and Sullivan's Greatest Hits," this is a delightful revue from the author of Lend Me a Tenor, Leading Ladies and Moon Over Buffalo.
Press Reviews
"A warm and affectionate behind-the-scenes look at this tempestuous, hilarious relationship."
