Three Little Maids

Recently Updated

"Three Little Maids" is a musical comedy that tells the story of three young women, Yum-Yum, Peep-Bo, and Pitti-Sing, who are all vying for the attention of a handsome young man named Nanki-Poo. Set in Japan, the show is a parody of the Victorian-era fascination with all things Japanese.

The story begins with Nanki-Poo arriving in the town of Titipu, disguised as a wandering minstrel. He is actually the son of the powerful Mikado of Japan, who has been forced into hiding due to a complicated love triangle involving his betrothed, the beautiful but fickle Yum-Yum, and her guardian, the Lord High Executioner. Nanki-Poo falls in love with Yum-Yum, but she is already promised to the Executioner, who is eager to execute someone to prove his worthiness as a husband.

As the plot thickens, the three little maids and their male suitors become entangled in a web of mistaken identities, thwarted love, and near-misses. But in the end, true love wins out and everyone lives happily ever after, with plenty of song, dance, and witty repartee along the way. "Three Little Maids" is a delightful romp through a bygone era, filled with humor, romance, and colorful characters.
