"The Black Mikado": There has never been a Mikado like this
" The Black Mikado" : There has never been a Mikado like this!. Gilbert and Sullivan may turn in their graves, but the show must go on. And what a show! Before the show even opens in London in April, it will have cost more than £ 100, 000. Much of it on the costumes and set, not to mention the actors, actresses and the band. Michael Denison heads an otherwise all black cast from Britain, American, Africa and the West Indies. " The Mikado" is a good natured satire on the topsy turvydom of English Society. A satire that hits with extraordinary accuracy at the target of hypocrisy, in morals and Government. The new musical adaption while still retaining Sullivans melodies and Gilberts lyrics has been updated to include jazz, folk, blues, reggae and ballads. March 1975

The Black Mikado: There has never been a Mikado like this! Gilbert and Sullivan may turn in their graves, but the show must go on. And what a show! Before the show even opens in London in April, it will have cost more than £100,000. Much of it on the costumes and set, not to mention the actors, actresses and the band. Michael Denison heads an otherwise all black cast from Britain, America, Africa and the West Indies. "The Mikado" is a good-natured satire on the topsy-turvydom of English Society. A satire that hits with extraordinary accuracy at the target of hypocrisy in morals and Government. The new musical adaptation while still retaining Sullivan's melodies and Gilbert's lyrics has been updated to include jazz, folk, blues, reggae and ballads. This fusion of genres brings a fresh twist to this classic production. In this print captured by Mirrorpix from Memory Lane Prints during March 1975; we see a glimpse into this groundbreaking performance. The vibrant costumes worn by talented actors add an extra layer of visual spectacle to an already mesmerizing experience. This photograph serves as a testament to both cultural diversity within theater productions as well as artistic innovation. It captures a moment where tradition meets modernity resulting in an unforgettable theatrical masterpiece.
