Ep 86- Chatting About Gilbert & Sullivan's Mikado with David Wannen

We are BACK! The Roundtable comes back to the Broadway Podcast Network and we are READY for an amazing 2024! Buckle up! Today we have actor, producer, and Executive Director of NY's Gilbert & Sullivan Players David Wannen with us! New York Gilbert Sullivan Players continues its expanded 49 th season with its critically acclaimed new production of Gilbert & Sullivan’s The Mikado. The repertory company is presenting 6 performances at New York’s Kaye Playhouse at Hunter College (68 th Street between Park and Lexington Avenues) on Saturday, January 6 at 2:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, January 7 at 3:00 p.m.; and Saturday, January 13 at 2:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, January 14 at 3:00 p.m. The Mikado, which was first performed at London's Savoy Theatre in 1885, pokes fun at topical aspects of Victorian society, but Gilbert & Sullivan cleverly cloak their satirical barbs behind a charming love story set in an imagined town in Japan, and NYGASP continues the time-honored tradition of topical updating for a modern audience. Performance schedule: January 6 at 2:00 p.m. & 7:30 p.m. January 7, 2024 at 3:00 p.m. January 13, 2024 at 2:00 p.m.* & 7:30 p.m. January 14, 2024 at 3:00 p.m. *Family Overture: Musical introduction and plot summary made entertaining for the entire family (12:45 in theatre prior to the Saturday afternoon performance) Tickets start at $30.
