Recently Updated

Zipp! is a musical revue that premiered in London in 1988. It is a tribute to the famous British musical theatre writing team of Gilbert and Sullivan. The show is made up of a series of sketches, songs, and scenes that are inspired by the works of Gilbert and Sullivan, and each segment is introduced by a narrator who sets the scene and provides historical context.

The revue features many of Gilbert and Sullivan's most popular songs, such as "A Policeman's Lot is Not a Happy One," "The Mikado's Song," and "I Am the Very Model of a Modern Major-General." The show also includes lesser-known numbers from the duo's lesser-known works.

Zipp! is performed by a small cast of performers who take on multiple roles throughout the show. The production is known for its fast-paced energy, colorful costumes, and playful choreography. The show has been praised for its ability to introduce Gilbert and Sullivan's works to a new generation of theatre-goers while also appealing to longtime fans of the duo's music.
