The Riddle-The Scarlet Pimpernel 2

[emilygracey]

Marguerite + calling Chauvelin a son of a bitch = best theatrical moment ever :D

[41192tara]

lol :25 and Percy's "Chauvlin. Hallo!"

[CookieZell]

Does anyone else notice the rude audience? They keep laughing at scenes that aren't meant to be funny..I wish I could've heard their beautiful voices better. It's very good acting.

[clownrus]

@CookieZell This is the final performance, done purely for the fans, they were putting things in to be funny.

[reynardbleu]

@CookieZell They're laughing at the improvs.

[cimoirine]

oh my gosh. I LOVE blakeney. that beautifully HILARIOUS FOP!!!!! and of course Chauvelin. he is freakin' awesome, even if he cannot win. 

[bradsox95]

<3 words cannot describe how much i love this song<3

[deathbystiletto]

I like it, but You cant replace Terrence Mann. He is too awesome.

[lastxwriter]

The best part, hands-down, is Rex hiding behind his bodyguards like he expects Doug to bite him.

[tjinpompano]

I am happy I saw The Scarlet Pimpernel version 1. This does not have the same passion of Christine Andreas and Terrance Mann, in my opinion. Still nice to watch.

[aragornluvr580]

Do you have Storybook?

[LisaB1991]

This is hilarious!

Froufrou.. Frills.. Faaaaaaabric..

And then Doug with his Shovelynn!! HALLOOOOO

Because it do shimmer so, lol

[OujoKuroiBara]

Ok... this is really pissing me off. People keep mixing up the names. This is not Rachel York.

[liljenmar]

@OujoKuroiBara yes it is Rachel York, sounds like her looks like her, is her

[futurama140]

I saw this on december 31st, 1999 at 10 years old and it's been my life's dream to act in this! An amazing musical, my personal favorite!

[jeanzgirl13]

It takes real men to wear clothes like that...

[sirpercivalblakeney1]

"Oh speaking of little hope your highness, perhaps you could suggest Chauvelin get a new hat." LOVE IT! The whole thing!! :-)

[hannonse]

"he should pick up a new hat, but then we'd have to redo the whole thing...that's too much work!"

ha ha ha. love it!

[PhoenixStrata]

I'm sorry, but I'm going to ask a very stupid question: why do people call this scarlet pimpernel 2? What happened to Christine Andreas and Terrence Mann? thank you :)

[sirpercivalblakeney1]

@PhoenixStrata It's the second version. Christine Andreas and Terrence Mann didn't come back for the second run of it so it's the S. P. 2

[wincipoet]

@sirpercivalblakeney1 @@ ahh I wish there're some clips of Terrence Mann playing Chauvelin on youtube...

[amintajuliette]

@wincipoet  mee too!, he's my favorite Chauvelin I hear (once) a record of this song with the original cast and oh my god, it was great! The performance of the song was great, this was a little stres it? Perhaps.

[littlecorinthian]

@PhoenixStrata That's not a stupid question! :0( @sirpercivalblakeney1 hit it pretty much on the head. Each subsequent version has been numbered, i.e. original production is SP1, this one is SP2, the Ron Bohmer led incarnation is SP3, and the tour is SP4. Hope that helps! :0)

[wincipoet]

Hmm I like both Rachel York and Christine Andreas, but I definitely prefer Terrence Mann than Rex SMith

[mmgringoire2]

Seeing Douglas Sills slways makes me smile. If i could see him live i would die happy.

[MsOneDK]

I wish someone had video of the original version of this song -- with Terry Mann. Rex Smith was so pitiful in this role. (And I should know, I saw him in it like 5 times.)

[IloveHobbits1995]

pour percy!

Did you see his reaction when marguerite walks past him after

he asked" do you stay me true?"

that is so sad!

[broadwaysweetheart]

Rachel York is the best singer ever. :) thanks for posting

[Gacktite]

"Pimpies!" He says.

[Gacktite]

What does Chauvelin say after "documents, papers...?"

[kittybirg]

Ha! Chauvelin's reaction to the Bounders -- he must think fop is catching!

[littlecorinthian]

"Faaaaaaaaaaaaabric!"

Loves it! :0)

[lilmissfarah]

the american accent really REALLY spoils it

[AkiraChan24]

Often I find that, but for some reason I don't really mind it in Rex Smith's case

[QuackGoDuck]

I love Rachel's voice <3

[MichaelCrawfordsFan]

"Blast, Blast. No You cant! I GET CREAMY SATIN!!!...Isn't that Chauvvy. Because they do Shimmer So!"

[crazyloverofcats]

" Too much work. Never mind."

LOVE IT.

[Sarchale]

"It does shimmer so!"  XD

[bryarerose]

lol. i wish i could understand what they were saying!!!

~lAUra

[primashonna]

oooh... this was the final performance when she kept calling him a son of a bitch... and I'm a dork for knowing that...

[RyanPLion]

honestly...I think it's quite awesome that you know that! I was looking at the script and was wondering why I couldn't find it in there.

But I also love his response "Your brother's, you little TRAMP"

[MusicalLover6]

Dude, that had to be the best 'Riddle' I have ever heard. That was passion! Wow!

[MichaelCrawfordsFan]

"Frou, Frou! Frills! FAAAAAAABRIC" XD

[bwaymess]

this was a night I'll never forget...thank you for posting

[scaryname73]

this is amazing!!!

[dancergirl]

Wow. That's a powerful rendition. I think it's almost better than the Original Broadway cast recording. Almost.

[AkiraChan24]

What did he say after "papers" ? Everyone seamed to find it funny xD

[AkiraChan24]

Oops I mean after he said "Papers, documents-" ?

[MrsLovett112]

This is most definately my favourite song in the whole musical. Rachel York is fantastic, and I just love the lyrics to it. So...wow.

[freddybytor]

for the love of God, never remove this video...

[GeekisChic88]

Wow...is this from the final performance of SP2???

[hhmhoops]

yeah this is the final performance of the second version of the scarlet pimpernel.

[AkiraChan24]

What did he say just after she unsulted him? And also what was the third thing he asked them to bring?

[victorianopera]

1. "Your brother's, you little tramp!" (refering to her brother's life)

2. "Pimpies"

[AkiraChan24]

Thank you! :D

[soccergirl639398]

@AkiraChan24

He says " Your brother's you little TRAMP!

[aproby]

god rachel york is fantastic!

[Isiena]

their voices are so powerful in the riddle!

[MichaelCrawfordsFan]

Next trip pick me up one of those silly hats what
