Awesome submitted by loire on June 28, 2012, 3:51pm You cannot beat Gilbert and Sullivan. These operettas are awesome, there is a reason there are countless societies devoted to their music. We are so fortunate to have the oldest consecutively producing society in North American here in Ann Arbor. Check out the University of Michigan Gilbert and Sullivan Society productions, they are incredible.
