To anyone who loves music theatre, 'G&S' means melody, irreverence, wit and fun. Essgee Entertainment has thoroughly updated the Victorian operetta allowing today's theatregoer a fresh look at this classic. All the original songs and tunes are included though and despite the 'pop feel' of many of the chorus numbers the most beautiful solos are untouched. The end product is true to the spirit of Gilbert and Sullivan, but much more accessible for today’s audiences.

The EssGee version of Pirates of Penzanze is operetta for people who hate operettas and a special treat for those who love them, extra jokes and lyrics while keeping all the best bits of the show we adore.

This just cropped up in my feed and made my day. I live for the day we can safely see shows like this once again. Hang on in there, Opera Australia!

still the best updated version of a G&S operetta so funny I think G& S would be watching from the wings and laughing so much, I miss jon English he added such a diferent aspect to these operettas RIP Jon, I saw them when they toured NZ fabulous

@onemercilessming1342 3 года назад

I quite agree. Gilbert and Sullivan would have heartily approved.

@bestmusicever2550 Год назад

This is pure gold. Even if Simon Gallagher looks stupid.

@jdane2277 Год назад

No better version. Jon English will own The Pirate King forever.

What a fantastic production!

I was watching this thinking I would nod off and go to sleep. That didn't happen but I am exhausted. But fully satiated! So was the Audience!

I've always thought of the multiple encores of Cat Like Tread to be the 'conductor's revenge'

@cannyexplorer5357 3 года назад

Absolutely my favourite version do so wish they would re release it on dvd for the European market. Did have it on vhs but it’s no longer playable due to machine being obsolete now.

@onemercilessming1342 3 года назад

It is available, along with HMS Pinafore and The Mikado, all three with Jon England. It is a bit pricey...Amazon and eBay.

@cannyexplorer5357 3 года назад

@@onemercilessming1342 thanks but it’s not available on region 2, did have a multi region DVD player but when the U.K. changed its services it no longer worked.

And Tony Azito was the most funniest police Sargent too.

@sharongelfand5065 3 года назад

He was unique.

@martinpatrick1746 3 года назад

The funniest police Sargent was one in the Pirate Movie.

Kevin Kline was less comic/slapstick and more libidinous. Both he and Jon English were great in their way. I think the choreography in the NY Pirates was better, but the dynamics (choral and orchestral) in "With catlike tread" was superior in the Australian production.

that was certainly a great performance

@martinpatrick1746 3 года назад

Rex Smith was the best frederic and Linda Rondstad was the best Mabel so true to top that australia.

@onemercilessming1342 3 года назад

Sorry, but I saw the Shakespeare in the Park version that was later filmed in studio with most of the same cast. It was well done and enjoyable, but EssGee Productions trilogy (Pirates of Penzance, The Mikado, and HMS Pinafore) are very well done, indeed.

Turns out it can be bought in digital form www.essgee.com/html/Videoshoppingpage1.html for anyone that's interested

@martinpatrick1746 3 года назад

Kevin Kline the best Pirate King ever.

@nigeldeacon3271 2 года назад

This is brilliant. Reminds me of a D'Oyly Carte last performance of the season. Pinafore set, pirates costumes and business from most of the others. Dick Deadeye was decidedly effeminate and Ralph Rackstraw was as deformed as I have ever seen. During the curtain calls, the stage crew struck the set until, at the very end, there was nothing of the set left on stage, all the way back to the brick wall.
