Really good, except the man in the green shirt kept screwing up the parts of the song when they're skipping! He keeps muddling up "ultra-poetical super aesthetical" with "alphabetical arithmetical" and it throws the other guy off. God damn.
You would. It is fantastic. Anthony Warlow and DEnnis Olsen and Heather Begg are standouts but the whole performance is wonderful. Read up on the Aesthetic movement first Then think about the modern “ woke” culture and its similarities.
I was amazed to find out that Warlow was 33 when he did this production of patience, yet looks much much younger than that. I thought this was an 80’s production in 1985 when he was 25, that’s how young he looks here.
How old was Warlow here? He looks 29, but assuming this is the 90’s, he is in his 30’s. He always looks somewhat younger than he is. Hell, even at 60, he looks more mid to late 40’s than his 60’s.
I was there haahahaha the difference in the two reditions was the bell ringer in the orchestra woke up and rang the little bells on the words a threepenny bus young man in the second go
I’m a huge G&S fan and I have heard most of the historical Doyly Carte Productions of Patience back to the Sir Henry Lytton era and I don’t believe that any of the Doyly Carte legends do this any better than Anthony Warlow and Dennis Olsen. Absolutely the best in my opinion and we are very lucky that we have a video of it to store for posterity.
Have you ever seen Doyly Carte perform?😅In addition, Dennis Olsen is also a former Doyly Carte member，As far as the Patience video currently exists, 1982 Brent Walker is better.
I am 73 years old and have been a G&S fan and amateur performer since I was 18. I saw all of the D’Oyly Carte productions most more than once in the 1960’s through early 1980’s. I recall John Reed as Bunthorne and Kenneth Sandford as Grosvenor and I stand by my conviction that this is the best version of this particular song that I have ever seen. By Brent Walker you mean the producer of the 1982 tv version? I don’t think I have seen it but until I do this is mt favourite.
Denis Olsen was John Reeds understudy at Doyly Carte for several years but returned to Australia when he realised that Reed wasn’t likely to retire soon.
