“The Gondoliers”: U-M Gilbert & Sullivan Society

Dec. 4-7. This accomplished town-and-gown company performs Gilbert & Sullivan’s 1889 comic operetta about 2 handsome gondoliers whose romances with Venetian peasant girls are interrupted when a misunderstanding makes them kings for a day. Accidental bigamy, an arranged royal marriage, and switched-at-birth babies add twists to the lighthearted musical satire. 8 p.m. (Thurs.–Sat.) & 2 p.m. (Sat. & Sun.), Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre, 911 North University. Tickets $30 (seniors, $27; students with ID, $10) in advance at the Michigan League Ticket Office, muto.umich.edu, and at the door. (734) 763–8587.
