I've never considered 'The Sorcerer' to be top drawer G & S but I thoroughly enjoyed this production. The performances, direction and choreography are excellent. It's kept moving and the numbers are never static which is just what this piece needs. Very well done.
The slapstick shtick created (presumably by the director) added some badly-needed humor to one of G&S's less humorous operas. Though to be fair, John Wellington Wells sang his patter song brilliantly. Otherwise, this was an above-average production all around.
