  • Full Length Musical
  • Comedy

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 docu-drama, part period comedy, and part "Gilbertt and Sullivan's Greatest Hits," this is a delightful revue from the author of Lend Me a Tenor, Leading Ladies, and Moon Over Buffalo.
REVIEWS:

A charming show.
