With a huge ensemble cast, political satire, unresolved side plots, self-slander, sex, finance, and mutton chops (I could go on), the duo’s penultimate Savoy opera is a work that would lend itself to variation after variation. But until the show’s reputation gets the boost it deserves, the Harvard-Radcliffe Gilbert and Sullivan Players’ (HRG&SP) new production of “Utopia, Limited,” directed by Jeremy R.

Ducasse earns millions per year, and Robuchon opened two new restaurants in Las Vegas last year. Yet polls show that at least 60% of students aspire to be state employees. What can be done...

While the story is appropriately wacky and amusing, one appreciates when characters frequently stop to wax poetic or to throw off an endless stream of words in beautiful song...
