Song: Behold the Lord High Executioner
Show: THE MIKADO
Performance: Oct 13th, 2018 matinee
Principals:
Dave Henderson (Ko-Ko)

The Mikado has issued a nation-wide decree that any man found flirting must be beheaded. And such was to be the fate of Ko-Ko, a cheap tailor. who was caught flirting and was in the county jail awaiting his execution. But the town came up with a plan to circumvent The Mikado's stern decree. Instead of executing Ko-Ko they decided to promote him to Lord High Executioner (the highest rank a citizen can attain) on the premise that, since he was next to be executed, he can't behead anybody until he has first cut off his own head.

With great fanfare, the townsmen march into the town square as they tell us to behold the Lord High Executioner (a personage of noble rank and title; a dignified and potent officer, whose functions are particularly vital) and instruct all to defer to him. Ko-Ko enters and goes on to recount to all the tale of how he was sprung from the county jail and bestowed with the title of Lord High Executioner.
