LYRIC THEATRE, in our 50th year of high quality live musical theater productions, offers a classic by the most famous musical theater duo of England, WS Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan.
Iolanthe is a fairy who committed the crime of marrying a mortal 25 years ago. Her 24-year-old son Strephon -- who is half a fairy (down to the waist) -- wants to marry Phyllis, a ward of the Lord Chancellor, who refuses to give his permission for the marriage because he has his eye on Phyllis himself, as do half the members of the House of Lords. When Strephon is falsely accused of being unfaithful, the fairies decide to confront the House of Lords, and hilarity ensues.
Full of wonderful music and funny satire on politics and the legal system that still rings true today, this show is considered one of the best of Gilbert & Sullivan's collaborations.
Fully staged, with orchestra and supertitles.
Stage Director: Doreen Finkelstein and Tressa Bender
Music Director/Conductor: Michael Taylor
Discounts available for Groups.
$20-$40.
Presented by Lyric Theatre of San Jose.
