Gilbert & Sullivan repertoire brings show with a twist

Ada —  

Take Gilbert & Sullivan, add a twist of Broadway and stir. What do you get? A mixture of The Mikado meets The Music Man. Where the HMS Pinafore sets sail for Brigadoon. Where The Pirates of Penzance take shore leave On the Town. It’s I’ve Got a Little Twist, a one-of-a-kind show that proves the Gilbert & Sullivan repertoire is as fun, fresh and full-of-life as three little maids from school.

The New York Gilbert and Sullivan Players will perform this engaging original show at East Central University’s Hallie Brown Ford Fine Arts Center at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 24. Tickets are $18 and may be purchased online at tickets.ecok.edu or at the box office the night of the show.

For more information about the performance, contact the Hallie Brown Ford Fine Arts Center Box Office, 580-559-5751 or visit tickets.ecok.edu. This event is sponsored in part by the Oklahoma Arts Council, the ECU Foundation, Inc., the East Central Credit Union, Citizens Bank, the ECU Bookstore, Blue Moon Café, Valley View Regional Hospital and Bob’s BBQ.
