What is the correct pronounciation of "Miching Mallecho"?

Need it for a High School production. Thanks

You could always compare some videos/recordings, but I believe the standard is: mich as in Mitchell, ing as in ... ing; and the stress on mich. Mall as in Malcolm, echo pretty much as in the word echo, but the stress of the word is on mall, so the e is shortened. Or, like the mineral malachite but with o instead of ite, or the biblical book of Malachi but with o instead of i.

"ing as in...ing"?! He He!

Dude, go rent Branagh's version and fast forward to that bit, if necessary (better yet, watch the whole cool thing and revel in the joy that is HAMLET!).
