I was Jim Hawkins in a musical of this, as no boy of the right age who could act had an unbroken voice. It was weird, but we didn't have the muppets (sadly).
@thephantombutterfly6 we had a score, and the producer was looking for inspiration, and he used this song and also Professional Pirate. The one we did was a lot closer to the real story, so Jim didn;t have companions, et cetera...but probably a lot less fun than with the Muppets. We had a real score from the original musical, but then we just added in these two songs as the producer thought htat it would be beneficial to the producton.
@GearyAdam1 I could be wrong, but I'm sure I remember seeing a programme about this, where they said that his voice broke during filming, so they had to use the recordings of his songs they made during rehearsals
@actresstobe1408 Thanks! Neat. WOW. Goes to show how fast time flies. I was watching "After they were famous" about the cast of Bugsy Malone. Mind you, Muppet Treasure Island came out 1996. That was 15 years ago. Depending on how old Kevin was then...I'd say about 12, he's in his late twenties now? Maybe.

It's so weird. When I was a kid I loved this movie and now that I'm twenty I find that there is no other song I relate better to than this one.

omg
i used to want to be him/her when i was a child.
obviously i now see it's kevin bishop,
but as a child, this was the ultimate hermaphrodite hybrid.
