  • This is really a great, truly innovative rendition. Though, I admit I was really quite confused when I first saw the slow bit. After that, had me laughing out loud. Thanks for braving to be different! True to the words and the spirit, yet fresh and new. Good job.

  • Maybe disneyxbox but this rendition (with the same people) did win The Best Concerted Item at the Buxton International G&S Festival this year so it couldn't have been o total disaster...

  • I think I like the Pirates of Penzance version better.

  • Most entertaining! A piece that never fails to drag, me out of the darkest of moods! Like the hand actions. Bet at least one of you can go "red lorry, yellow lorry" very fast! Well done!

  • I just ask myself why the slow bit was necessary... Slash the additions seem to be what they are trying to make funny... can't the music and lyrics stand by themselves? Staging helps... creative staging... again... don't really understand why, though.

  • I'm a pretty traditional G&S fan but when a mutation like this can be done well I'm all for it. Good and entertaining job.

  • Great job!

    

  • Hilarious. I'm auditioning for Despard, though, and we can't have the 'glass of water' break. Ouch!

  • @bujurpb I did. It was too slow. I had forgotten the line about "this particularly rapid, unintelligible patter" until I got to it at the end of the video and quite literally fell out of my chair laughing. There was nothing rapid or unintelligible about this rendition.

  • @reedforcongress

    Why not watch all of it before commenting about it being slow?

  • "This not particularly rapid, fairly intelligible patter, isn't generally heard because it's not the way it's written."

  • I am certainly not going to criticize this. I'm afraid someone would ask me to do it better. Oh well, it really doesn't matter.
