Thanks, Cindy. It's funny that you should mention Gilbert and Sullivan -
I used to perform it on the Upper West Side in Manhattan! Unfortunately,
although "The Mikado" is set in Japan, it is quintessentially English.
Gilbert was taking advantage of a craze for all things Japanese at the
time in Victorian England to use Japan as a "front" for England so he
could criticize Queen Victoria and her government.
