The Mikado: The Flowers That Bloom In The Spring

[tomgoodman1]

Absolutely awful. Everyone.

[Alderaansurvivor]

I've just been cast as Ko-Ko in a local production. I've played Pooh Bah before, and I'm looking forward to sing some of the timeless classics like Willow, Tit Willow

[MrSwifts31]

Sir Arthur must be spinning in his grave!

Yes,update the production (to wherever) if you must,but to mangle Sullivan's delightful orchestrations into something that sounds like a badly out of tune fairground organ is just NOT ON!

Lord help us,no wonder people don't like G&S if this it the muck they see!

I see they have also mucked about with Gilbert's words,where will it all end.

What do I expect it's Australian after all, what do they know of culture,more in a pot of yoghurt.

[EricEdwards13]

and that's what i mean when i sing oh bother the flowers that bloom in the spring

[HUTINAK]

It's OjH BOTHER not Bugga, the flowers that bloom in the spring

[EricEdwards13]

At my high school I played KoKo and for this song we did the cock nye joe and other hip hop dances it was known as hip hop mikado

[Nichristi]

[EricEdwards13]

[lilylessons]

[Merster666]

[KoreanVisualKei]

Wow maybe I saw this exact production in Brisbane when I was 5 yrs old.....I was born 1989.....but I fell a sleep half way threw...oops...but watching it here on youtube I a priciated it more as I can understand the humor. xDDDDD

[lemonsqadh]

[Merster666]

Makes sense to me...

[theystoleallmynames]

Its funny I just discovered videos of Australian version of this on the internet (Im used to my video of the NZ production) so I watch it and I think wow I forgot how awesome Simon Gallaher is and then I watch this version again and Im like wow I forgot how awesome Derek Metzger is lol

[lskarin]

My goodness.  I lucked upon this. Well done!

[WriterWench]

I LOVE the way this company produces G&S! Once one has become accustomed to the Australian accents, it's impeccable. Beautiful costumes, sets, and crystal-clear diction.

[MrSamHargreaves]

@WriterWench I'm more of a D'Oyly Carte fan, but I do like what Essgee have done with it.

[WilsonsAngel]

[outplaced]

i wish they didn't make ko-ko sound and act so dumb. it's overkill =[

[kraekuti]

[outplaced]

my opinion so whatever buddy. if you've seen the stratford one you'd know.

[kraekuti]

[FinalFreek]

and why is ko-ko an ausi?

[clownrus]

This theatre company is in Australia

[FinalFreek]

look here he's not dumb he's ment to be a coward.

[lastkyker]

what theatre company/troup/group is this, where are they, and how does one get involved?

what are they doing next?

[HannahRoseBanana017]

Nanky Poo is a family friend of ours! he is good isnt he?

[ChioGaru]

Seriously? As in referring to Derek Metzger? And not just some obscure reference to the character? If option one is the case: totally awesome

[Not0too0fluffy]

This guy's(Nanky-Poo) a much better actor then Simon Gallaher.

Better looking too if i may say.

I love these productions, my favorite musicals.

[ChioGaru]

"Oh. What. a. stroke. of. luck." ^^

I love this production

[carolethecatlover]

Purists, please! If G & S were alive today, they'd be writing 'Mamma Mia' and 'Cats' They would love it.

This Aussie version is great.

[MasterEled]

Great video, thanks
