Atlanta Lyric Theatre presents "The Mikado"

Atlanta Lyric Theatre returns to its roots with Gilbert and Sullivan’s The Mikado. The location is a fictitious Japanese town full of colorful characters, including a hilariously corrupt public official and a Lord High Executioner who is too tenderhearted to actually perform his duties.  Beautiful schoolgirl Yum-Yum loves the romantic minstrel Nanki-Poo, but is engaged to Ko-Ko the executioner. This romantic triangle takes the usual course of thwarted romance until the arrival of the fearsome Katisha claims Nanki-Poo as her “perjured lover.” In order to resolve the ensuing complications, Ko-Ko must use his wits to convince the most unattractive Katisha to marry him – in record time.

For information and reservations call 404.377.9948 or visit www.AtlantaLyricTheatre.com.

* A special collection will be taken at each performance of The Mikado for relief efforts in Japan.
