“ Oh, don’t the days seem lank and long
When all goes right and nothing goes wrong,
And isn’t your life extremely flat
With nothing whatever to grumble at. ”
The Finborough Theatre’s acclaimed Celebrating British Music Theatre series continues with the first professional London production in over twenty years of Gilbert and Sullivan’s Princess Ida.
Containing some of Sullivan’s catchiest melodies and Gilbert’s wittiest salvoes in the battle of the sexes, this sunny, funny musical comedy concerns the marriage of two royal babies.
It’s twenty years later and Prince Hilarion is keen to be reunited with his now adult wife, the Princess Ida. Unfortunately her quarrelsome father has hidden her away in a women’s only university where even the morning cock crow is managed by a talented hen.
So Hilarion is forced to don a dress and even wield a sword to win his wife.
Former Finborough Theatre Artistic Director Phil Willmott returns to direct this rare professional revival which will delight G&S aficionados and musical theatre fans alike.
