Day of show tickets are $43 (incl. $5 fee)
Group discount available.
Written during the Victorian era, The Yeomen of the Guard takes a romantic look back at the people who lived in Tower of London in the 1500s. This was the closest to a grand opera that this writing team got, but it still includes their signature brand of humor and patter-song delights. Not every romantic partner gets what they want by the end. But the sweeping, melodic songs make this one of the favorite operettas of Gilbert & Sullivan fans.
Best for ages 10 and up.
This production includes references to executions, and a pretended killing by gunshot.
