@teddyleevin91 Did you listen to the whole thing? How familiar are you with G&S anyway? The harmonies are more modern, but the syntax & structure match quite well, for a piss-take.
I am very familiar with G&S, and I did watch the whole thing several times. I've been in all 13 G&S operas each on more than one occasion, even directing and conducting a few. Everything about this, words & music are of a much later style. They do quote music from Iolanthe and the Mikado in this, but then they always segue into something that sounds more Noel Coward than Sullivan. It's still funny, but I still don't see the connection with G&S.
lol i totally agree, both shows are fantastic, i have the cd of the last Australian show they did and its just a good. Just a shame DAAS KAPITAL hasnt been released to DVD yet.
Live at the National Theatre is in my opinion a funnier show, but you need to be born pre 1980 to have a chance of getting a lot of it. Dead and Alive is very good too though.
Still makes me lol after all these years :)

G&S didn't write parlour songs. The musical style isn't even similar.

"Loudly let the trumpets bray..." & "Loudly bang the sounding brasses..." are from G&S 'Iolanthe'. Its obscure, but not lost.
