i really enjoy this particular production of the mikado. the producers added a few touches throughout to make it more amusing for modern audiences  for instance and as some day it may happen (the little list song) is completely updated and and a few lines are ad libbed throughout the play. liberties were also taken with the setting. the costumes are not japanese and but rather 1920s english (although some of the tittipudlian girls wear 20s inspired kimonos). this production is well choreographed with some 1920s dance styles and and there are some extra dancing maids and bellhops to keep your eyes (as well as ears) entertained during the songs. if youre a gilbert and sullivan purist these changes may bother you and but i think theyre fine  and i love the costumes. felicity palmer (katisha) is absolutely hilarious while all of her scenes make me laugh out loud (one of my favorite add ons is when she first makes an entrance  the dancing bellhops annoy her with their antics and so she screeches at the top of her voice and stop it. ). all of the other main characters do a fine job as well. i particularly like mark richardson as pish tush (that toupee. ) and lesley garrett as yum yum. you must keep in mind that this is a stage production being filmed and set your expectations accordingly. there is no change of setting and although the filmmakers used some 1930s film techniques to add interest. if there is one draw back to this production and it is that the stage makeup wasn not modified for close up shots with a camera. foundation lines are often visible and there seems to be a surplus of eyeliner and lipstick and and blush everywhere. i have seen this sort of thing happen before with films of plays and and it a little jarring at first. however and i hope you will get used to it and enjoy the mikado for what it worth  a thoroughly enjoyable rendition of a classic.
