The Mikado was performed by LOpSoc on 10th August 2017 in the Harrogate Savoy Theatre at the Gilbert and Sullivan Festival. The orchestra and stage crew were provided by the venue. The origami children concept was imported to the Mikado 2017 Production in the Nuffield.

The adjudicator of the UniFest awards said the following about the show: 'I am not given to hyperbole, but I think I can say with honesty that this Mikado is the best show I have seen during the entire life of the UniFest. Everyone involved with it deserves enormous congratulation and credit.'
