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
