I am so sad that I never got to see this and devastated that there is no recording of it for sale. =( sob Thank you, thank you, thankyou for up loading this for those who have been deprived.
La, but those shimmering tiger striped and purple giraffe coats are too funny...even as they're so very 'summery'. And the leg bounce on the settee! ROTF! Makes me..."Swoon!"
@wincipoet *playfully* Don't knock him out of the running yet! Fred Terry, the first Pimpernel on-stage, kept playing the role nearly until he was retired -- more than 2000 performances. Surely Sills has still got a few more daring escapes and flashy swordfights left in him!
@XxGreymoonxX The song is available on the Original Broadway Recording. Borders will sometimes have it in-stock in-store. If not, most stores can order it. The whole CD is worth owning -- all of the songs are fantastic.
Thank you so much for uploading all these great videos from this amazing (and my all-time favourite!) show!!! Is the full thing available anywhere? I want to see it more than any other show!!
So frustrating. No subtitles and I can only make out 10% Men in tights. As a woman, it seems to me that this would be more difficult for soldiers to live out for years that to charge right into battle.
This must be one of the most godawful songs I have ever heard from a Broadway musical. The whole premise of the production is mistaken - the director has created this as a comedy, while Baroness Orczy's novel was dead serious and took heroism seriously. Luckily, I was unaware of it when I lived in New York and never wasted a ticket on it. I find most reprehensible the audience's laughter elicited by all the hijinks on stage. What a miss!
If you've never seen the show you don't know what you're missing. They're intentionally being ridiculous here, trying to sell themselves to the prince as foppish, brainless nitwits, but there is plenty of serious drama and intrigue throughout the show as well. I feel sorry for you that you haven't seen it. It's one of my all time favorites.
