Loughrea Youth Theatre sets dates for ‘Hot Mikado’ musical

Loughrea Youth Theatre proudly present Hot Mikado!  Gilbert and Sullivan’s comic masterpiece is updated with the vintage swinging sounds of 1940s jazz and blues.

Cultures glide and collide in this “hot” update of Gilbert and Sullivan’s perennial classic, The Mikado. Hot Mikado weaves an hilarious tale where, despite life-or-death stakes, characters still find time to tap their toes and do their fair share of scatting. In a land where outlandish laws sentence people to death for almost any indiscretion, jazz, the blues and gospel are spoken fluently.

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!

The talented students of Loughrea Youth Theatre – together with a professional jazz band – will wow you once again and send you off singing into the night!

This performance will feature LYT’s Junior Students from the Hammerstein Group (who have classes on Fridays).
