At the height of their fame in Victorian England, W.S. Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan were hitmakers infamous throughout
the theater scene. Today, they remain less celebrated by the public as a whole, but are still revered as one of the finest
teams of writers to ever grace the opera with their talent. And few groups capture their wit and humor quite as well as
the New York Gilbert and Sullivan Players. Get opera tickets now!
Gilbert and Sullivan made their names infamous by creating epic musicals filled with delightful wordplay and absurd scenarios
and characters. The NY Gilbert and Sullivan Players is a group that was founded at Columbia University dedicated to recreating
the two men's plays and bringing them to a wider audience. After many of the group members graduated, it was kept alive
by transforming into a street theater.
In the early '70s, the NY Gilbert and Sullivan Players was a very small organization, relying largely on donated time
and money from enthusiastic Gilbert and Sullivan fans to keep alive. They would recreate single scenes with what they had,
and slowly built themselves into a nationally touring outfit. Get NY
