When a felon's not engaged in his employment 

Reminds me of John Cleese.

It's Keystone Kops meets the Ministry of Silly Walks.

Yeah, that was really impressive.

i can really notice that now XD

Someone needs to do an sfm of Waluigi doing this dance!

A policeman’s lot is not a happy WWWAAAAAANE

Taranta-WA

Rylosalex A lot of songs were cut for this movie, and that was one of them. There's a couple of extra lines that go before "When the danger's near...". Look for the soundtrack for the theater version, it has more songs and longer veraions of the songs.

Yeah, yeah I found the theater soundtrack at the library got it and listened to it. Was totally surprised when I heard those extra lines.

When I read this, my first thought was "There's a sequel to Pirates of Penzance?"

Not entirely. I actually preferred the original sisters. Wasn’t a huge fan of Angela Lansbury being cast as Ruth, either. But yes, the original 1980 summer theater in the park production’s overwhelming success is what spurred Universal to produce the film.

She trained for weeks when she was cast in the Delacourt theater production. For a power ballad singer, she turned in a respectable performance as a coloratura.

That's Johnny Depp?!

@@JonathanToolonie Yes! Most people don't realize this, but being the theater major that I am, we've learned all sorts of crazy bits of info not normally so widely dispersed. Fun fact: In an attempt to make Mr. Depp look taller in this performance, all the other actors were specifically chosen for their height! (though they are of course wonderful, skill and love for the craft played a role too!). Mr. Depp, being only 5'4", had to give a more commanding presence on stage to show leadership, so they specifically used actors 5' and under for the scenes he'd share with them. Very similar to what Mr. Jackson did with the whole hobbits and stuff in the Lord of the Rings movies. Movie magic! I love it!

@@anonanon8750 dude, you just blew my mind because I didn't recognise him at all.

@@JonathanToolonie Not at all odd that you didn't recognize Depp since the part was played by Tony Azito. The film used nearly the entire NY stage cast for the film version.

1 person considers knowledge as a private thing it seems.

I love this video, but I would like to know what Tarantera means.

Its the sound a trumpet makes - explained in previous song - "When the Foeman Bares His Steel"

I think that's the point really. Police weren't exactly a massive thing back then. I don't know where thus us set but I imagine it's the Caribbean and police were really just a big city thing so no... They didn't really send police to deal with pirates. Which is why all the cops run off.

RainbowPig 007 Penzance is in Cornwall in England

Well even if it is Cornwall the fact remains that police weren't exactly your go-to guys in the case of pirates

It's not meant to make sense, but rather to emphasise the absurd nature of the whole operetta. Being set in later 19th century England, the notion of armed pirates turning up in Cornwall would have been laughable. Furthermore, the silliness of sending a load of local bobbies to deal with them just makes the whole thing even more ridiculous.

Alex Bliss Gilbertian logic at its finest!
