2012 SPRING SHOW
  utopi

Music by Arthur Sullivan
Libretto by William S. Gilbert

Directed by Gary Slavin
Musical Direction by Zachary Schwartzman

What happens when a global superpower imposes its social conventions and political practices on a smaller, less "civilized" nation? To find out, you could read the news—or you could see UTOPIA, LIMITED, Gilbert & Sullivan's shockingly relevant satire of imperialism and globalization, in a fresh new edition by the Blue Hill Troupe.

  • Well-meaning but hapless ruler controlled by conniving, self-interested cronies? Check.
  • Vibrant, politically aware princess with progressive ideas? Check.
  • Smooth-talking policy wonks selling their lies with song and dance? A reactionary movement that's just a few ideas short of an uprising? Check and check!

Of course, there are also romantic entanglements, glorious music, sumptuous costumes, lavish sets, and unmiked singers over a full orchestra. And the best part? A portion of your ticket is tax deductible, and all proceeds will benefit "I Have A Dream" Foundation® - New York.

You won't want to miss the Blue Hill Troupe's twist on this little-known, but worthy work!
