I don't mind the liberties that they took with this production; it is entertaining and not too gimmicky. BUT the rinky-dink synthesizer in the orchestra pit sounds like five wind-up music boxes. You had a nice set, nice costumes, excellent performers... you couldn't spring for a decent orchestra? SMH.

Mr. Gallaher's productions are by far my favorite versions of Mikado, Pirates and Pinafore. So much fun and story to enjoy, it will live forever.

I love how musically, "Dance a Cachucha" blends back into the "A wand'ring minstrel I" coda, great use of the same key.

i wish i could see the entire performance somewhere :')

Average discord mod with his kitten.

Gosh, we're scared and gosh, we're frightened, 'Cause our itty-bitty new friend Has his teeny-weeny brain all set On blowing us to bits. O, how horrible, deplorable, This really is the pits!

Sir Joseph’s expression at 0:25 is priceless. Very Mr. Bean-esque.

Peter Cupples and his band provided two songs for the Pirate Movie album.

No one can outdo Kevin Kline and Rex Smith.

They recreated the central park production for a aussie crowd.

The aussie version of Rex Smith and Linda Ronstad.

The Joe Papp version of the Pirates of Penzance in Australia.

Or the film version either.

They adapted the central park production of Pirates of Penzance.

I love how she makes her dress look like a bell. It's so small and simple but it makes me smile every time.

Merry bells rhythm?

Jon English in the 1994 EssGee production will always be my absolute favourite Pirate King!! Bar non! He was beyond fantastic, probably the best representation of a character I ever saw. I saw all three EssGee versions when they toured QLD back in the nineties, and it's where I fell in love with theatre and musicals.

I am the very model of a modern major general I’ve information seminal and cultural and federal And regional and functional and fictional and textual Abominibidible- Abdominidible- Can’t say that word!!

From the UK - the actor playing Sir Joseph brought to mind how Rowan (Mr Bean) Atkinson might have performed the role.

What?! 😂

the Simpsons brought me here with this classic musical!

It stands to show the enduring brilliance of G&S that their operettas are still being performed well over a century later!

David Gould ❤️‍🔥

Joseph Pap was so brave bringing the production to Australia..and a American flavor to it.

Joseph Pap added a American flavor to the aussie production of Pirates.

The same costumes wore by Kevin Kline and Rex Smith and Angela Landsbury.

Simon as Frederick Jon as the Pirate King same as Rex Smith and Kevin Kline as the Pirate King and Frederick in the central park production.

Simon speaks like a American,

From the Joseph Pap production of Pirates of Penzance based on the central park production.

This guy sounds like George Rose and got the moves down.

This guy captures the spirit of the late Tony Azito as the Police Sargeant.

The gal playing Mabel doesn't come close to Linda Ronstad as Mabel.

Based upon the central park production.

Rip Jon English 🙏 😢.

David Gould has a face of a lady killer and the voice of an angel. So deep and smooth, I keep reading reviews saying he's one toned and dull but I swear I could listen to him for hours. I like the 1997 movie for Buttercup though personally

Very lovely! This takes me away back in the mid-1960’s in Montreal as I was growing it!😊

Can someone tell me what the new lyrics are after the 5:10 timeline

Man, those sledgehammer orchestrations.

There is a lot of funny things in this song. But I think that the actress made one of the best performances of being tipsy: gestures, words...

All I hear is ..Springtime for Hitler

Wish I had seen that performance!

This is truly an imaginative and creative production of this fun operetta!

Won't see this at D'oyly Carte. Brilliant.

They are both brilliant.

I loved this song and personally want that magic Champagne bottle.

This Ralph rackshaw sounds very american

You won't see this at d'oyle Carte

Magnificent casting, beautiful costumes, backdrop and staging and choreography- it’s of the highest I have ever seen in this production - but sadly the organ accompaniment ( as skilled as it is) spoils this production for me - these talented singers and actors are undermined by the musical accompaniment, a great shame in my opinion

I love the addition of new verses. I think the traditional encores are a lot of fun, but this gives something new to people who have seen the usual oh so many times

I like Amanda Muggleton as Buttercup but Rima effortlessly changes her voice to suit the moment. Plus one lovely acting. Top job.
