Topsy-Turvy is different than any other Mike Leigh movie, and it's my favorite Mike Leigh movie. The Egos. The Battles. The Words. The Music. The Scandals.
I have been listening to this soundtrack on repeat and the movie is my current fixation so I wanted to put together a showcase of the music. The shows of Topsy-Turvy in the Savoy Theatre.

The world of Gilbert and Sullivan comes to vivid life in director Mike Leigh’s extraordinary dramatization of the staging of the duo’s legendary 1885 comic opera The Mikado. Jim Broadbent and Allan Corduner brilliantly inhabit the roles of the world-famous Victorian librettist and composer, who, along with their troupe of temperamental actors, must battle personal and professional demons while mounting this major production. A lushly produced epic about the harsh realities of creative expression, featuring bravura performances and Oscar-winning costume design and makeup, Topsy-Turvy is an unexpected period delight from one of contemporary cinema’s great artists.
