not to be hatin or anything but my bf and his friend did this recently for school and it sounded a lot better than these two...but its cool to see the original (:
Sorry to disagree. Angela Lansbury is a great actress, but she is so out of tune in this song, and Rex has to pull back a little, or he'll overwhelm her voice in the duet. The really great rendition of this song is between Rex and Patricia Routledge in the Central Park production. It's part of ThePenzancePirate's channel. Check it out.
@mer0902 oh my gosh, YES... we just finished doing pirates at my school, and me and the rest of the daughters all mouth it in the wings when frederic sings it, he does it pretty much like that, if not louder. XD and as soon as we get into the greenroom where the audience can't hear us, we all just belt out "FORTY SEVEN YEAR!!!" it's awesome.
Capricaquarius89 - they had to get a 60 year old to play Ruth, because 47 nowadays is nothing! (At least, that's what my husband keeps telling me (-: )
I didn't know Angela Lansbury played Ruth in this!..
I always feel so sorry for Ruth. My cast and I in our current production have decided Ruth should marry the MG in the end and be the girls' step mother, lol.
His voice when he's singing with Ruth when they are sitting on the rock - ohhhh, I love that part! His voice is so soft and he does the high notes so well
I love this scene. Great piece of work.

I only have one suggestion for this song. When my cast did the play, we "improved" a phrase or two:
"My love unabating has been accumulating... [pause] 37--"
[stands up and yells] "47 years!"
[annoyed] "47 years."
This helped to explain the more sudden change in Fredrick, as he's reminded that she lied to him.

This has to be one of my favorite parts in the whole operetta. ;-}
