This is perhaps the best Mikado character I've seen. Flamboyant and slightly crazy...great upload.

I love this, he's like the Adam Lambert of Mikados.

By All Means - I would buy it on DVD if It were available!

I love the opening staging, which sets this production within the realm of fantasy. However, the actors mug too much. If you look at the notes for the original, Gilbert demanded that his players keep away from any "funny business." Playing it straight makes it funnier.
