Plot Synopsis:
In The Mikado, or The Town of Titipu, the location is a fictitious Japanese town full of colorful characters—3 little maids from school, a wandering minstrel, a hilariously corrupt public official, and a Lord High Executioner who has a list of potential victims but 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, claiming Nanki-Poo as her “perjured lover,” and later the arrival of the emperor, or Mikado, himself—with his own list of punishments to fit the crime. 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. That done, all other potentially dangerous circumstances are settled by the Mikado's all-encompassing pronouncement that “nothing could possibly be more satisfactory.”
