Skylight just knows Gilbert & Sullivan
In "Iolanthe," director Dorothy Danner and crew get all the G&S-isms right -- the young, sweet and naively excitable women's chorus, the prancing, buffoonish men's chorus, the hyperbolic proclamations of love, the almost mythic Britishness, and the world rich in imagination, spirit and optimism.
