After their latest production, "Princess Ida", meets with less-than-stunning reception, Gilbert and Sullivan's relationship is strained to the breaking point. Their friends and associates attempt to get the two to work together again, which bares the path to "The Mikado", one of the duo's greatest successes.
Editor's Verdict
"Topsy-Turvy is a biographical musical drama about the professional and personal relationship between Gilbert and Sullivan. While it had a Holiday Release, the plot, setting, themes, and iconography are entirely unrelated to Christmas. The detected 'Holiday Release' element does not qualify as a meaningful Christmas element for narrative classification."
