When I first saw this version, I also thought that it was the worst adaptation of the Mikado ever done, but then I watched a few more videos of it, gave it a chance, and I realized that it's not bad, it's unique. It's done in a more whimsical manner and actually one of the funniest ones I've seen.
Same here, and it's growing on me too. But I still think they've gone a bit overboard, seems like they like to insert a gag into any song/dialog/situation just for the sake of it. Just a bit of moderation would make it a excellent, if untraditional, adaptation. I could even forgive the absence of Pish-Tush if so.
funny - but I hate the cut - there was no reason to add a trio women - find a good chorister and have him sing Pish-Tush. Interesting production and some very funny bits - but they play too fast and loose with Sullivan, not to mention Gilbert for my taste.
Meh... Jon English made a good Pirate King, but here he's not in his element. I always thought Pooh-Bah was a very pompous, snobbish and obsequious man. English does not fit the bill.

He's very good at what he does.
"This is simply appauling."
Sure is.
For a real version of the Mikado, check out the Stratford clips.
This production rocks!
and he's gorgeous!
"That'll make us The Villiage People". Lol.
They'd have to dress in stupid outfits and sing corny songs for a living!
I love how his assisstant is called Kato. Sweet.
This is pretty funny. Hand it to the Aussies!
They didn't do it because they couldn't find someone. They did it to include the 3 women who perform as a trio.
yes, there was, it was ko-ko, pooh-bah, and pish-tush.
Does anyone know what happened to the Stratford clips? They've vanished!!
what order do these clips go in?
Wasn't there a third character in this song?
Yes there was
We have Pooh Bah and Ko Ko
But no Pish-Tush for some reason
Sigh . . . only in Australia!
