The triumphal return of the sell-out, wildly exuberant hour of musical comedy written for a cast of ninety, performed by a cast of two.Now in a fully accessible, perfectly appointed 19th century theater space.
Andrew foolishly spent 2020 writing a full-length, full-cast comic operetta based on the musical clichés and ridiculous plots of Gilbert & Sullivan (but with the pesky sexism and colonialism removed).
Joined by his over-talented, ever-eager accompanist, Martine Wengrow , they are determined to bring his musical vision to life, just much shorter and more reasonably staged.

“Clever musical arrangement, strong vocals and high-spirited hamminess only adds to the hilarity in an hour of musical comedy that gives Gilbert & Sullivan an outrageously silly modern gloss.”
– Cameron Woodhead, The Age
“The performance is absolutely inspired and divine in every aspect. An absolute labour of love, and you can tell! Quite the playful show which everyone will enjoy.”
-Daniel Swain, The Funny Tonne ★★★★★
“I couldn’t wipe the smile off my face for the entirety of the upbeat show. For some much-needed cheer in these gloomy times, head along and let your inner musical nerd soar.”
-Bell Fowler, The Adelaide Advertiser. ★★★★
