Reviews are out: SAPAC's Hot Mikado is a hit!
"Southern Arizona Performing Arts Company's production of Hot Mikado, now playing at the Scoundrel & Scamp theater, lives up to the title. It sizzles with fast pacing, fun choreography, and spunky, high-energy performances from the whole ensemble."
"Erin Anderson as Pitti-Sing wows with her gospel stylings in the Act 1 finale."
"Tyler Wright as Ko-Ko very nearly stole the show with his spot-on, hilarious performance."
"Take your whole family to Hot Mikado; there's something in it that everyone will enjoy. Even Gilbert and Sullivan purists will not be disappointed."
~ Emily Lyons,Taming of the Review
"Director and choreographer Kelli Workman, combining talents with longtime associates Thea Hinojosa and Jessica Lumm, have made this "Hot Mikado" really pop."
"Though the cast is large, this truly is an ensemble performance. All the roles, large and small, get everyone's full respect and attention. The future for SAPAC is bright, and so is Hot Mikado."
~ Chuck Graham,Tucsonstage.com
"Matthew Holter shows his oh-wow, tap-dancing chops as the Mikado."
