    Gilbert & Sullivan Austin: The McAdo

    The Mikado has been moved to the highlands of Scotland and has become The McAdo. Gilbert’s libretto and Sullivan’s score will be kept virtually intact, while the scenery and costumes will reflect the Scottish moors. It’s a farcical tale of a wand’ring minstrel, a cowardly executioner, an iron-fisted ruler, and some of the greatest songs in musical theater – directed by Michelle Hache, with musical direction by Jeffrey Jones-Ragona.
    Through June 18. Thu.-Fri., 7:30pm; Sat., 2 & 7:30pm; Sun., 2pm. $10-100.

    Through June 18. Thu.-Sat., 8pm; Sun., 3pm. $15-25.
