New York Gilbert & Sullivan Players

Current Season

New York Season

We've just turned 36, but we don't look a day over 30. Okay, maybe 32...but we've still got the body (of work) of a 24 year-old! New York Gilbert & Sullivan Players celebrates its 36th season of the silly and the serious the only way we know how...with a host of hysterical productions, each brimming with the grandeur of exhilarating music! And this season is even more wonderfully strange than the rest as we keep the tales of love and laughter told in song rolling over six glorious months!

Order your tickets today and guarantee your place among the many thrilling tunes, hilarious heroes, clever maidens and happily ever afters.

1. 

   Utopia, Limited

   Paradise lost & found. King Paramount of Utopia has sent his oldest daughter to an English boarding school, but when she returns to her island paradise with seven idealistic "flowers of progress" (read: British institutions), the locals adopt their white washed Victorian ways with catastrophic results. Utopia, Limited is a rarely performed but timeless G&S satire with sprightly tunes and a story brimming with wit.

   The Yeomen of the Guard

   But seriously, folks. The Yeomen of the Guard tells the story of a prisoner in the Tower of London, falsely accused during the turbulent reign of King Henry the Eighth, the two girls who loved him, and an out of work itinerant jester. The most operatic of the Gilbert & Sullivan masterpieces, The Yeomen of the Guard is full of grand and intimate moments - delicate, dramatic, and sincerely moving by degrees.

   The Mikado

   It's all in the execution. In the Japanese town of Titipu, everything goes topsy-turvy when a high school maiden, a wandering minstrel, and a lord high executioner find themselves in a love triangle. With a witty libretto, a sparkling score, and some of the duo's most famous songs, this topically updated, "trusty production has everything an admirer of this music could want." - The New York Times

   Trial by Jury/G&S à la Carte

   Act I: Disorder in the court! A lecherous judge and all male jury, a gold digging plaintiff, a self-professed cad of a defendant, and a sleazy lawyer turn the courtroom proceedings upside down with self-serving arguments and musical merriment. Trial by Jury takes the legal system on an over-the-top ride to hilarity.

   Act II: A pinch of this, a dash of that. Watch NYGASP dish up a whole new menu of fun, as we throw a little bit of everything at you in this "Second Act" of Trial by Jury. G&S à la Carte serves up a delicious entree of song and dance with plenty of laughter for dessert all at an opening night cast party that could never have taken place.
