The Mikado – Wilton’s Music Hall

Take one classic operetta, mix it up a bit, add some brilliant choreography, phenomenal singing and a fantastically talented all-male ensemble and you have a witty and joyful new show.

The stunning set designed by Tom Piper and Emma Brunton’s movement direction wove the plot together to a symbiotic effect. The scene changes with ropes hinted at manual labour and gave the piece a community/village feel. The story was set in Lond...
