From the playwright who brought us Lend Me A Tenor comes
a playful twist on our mandate to bring the best of Gilbert and Sullivan to
Calgary audiences. In this delightful behind-the-scenes romp we get the best of
the duo musically and in the flesh, when we meet the famous partners
themselves! The story opens on a time when things were not all roses, in
1890 when they had been feuding for years. They are
forced to work together one more time to bring their greatest works to life for
Queen Victoria and so, we are treated to treasured pieces from_ THE MIKADO_,_
RUDDIGORE_,_ IOLANTHE_ and_ THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE_, among others. Fans of
Gilbert and Sullivan will be thrilled by_ SULLIVAN & GILBERT_, for we have
a song to sing, O! - several of them, in fact and we do hope you'll join us for
the joy! (And the rapture!
