Dennis Arrowsmith renders a VERY animated portrayal of the Police Sergeant. The Gilbert and Sulivan Society of Houston's 2009 staging of Pirates of Penzance. Also features Alistair Donkin as Maj. Gen. Stanley, Alison Greene as Mabel, and Abigail Coy as Edith.
This was awesome! It's quite difficult to find a true bass singing the Police Sergeant after Joseph Papp's version recast him as a comic tenor.
On another note, the choreographic similarities between this version and the version my school did are startling. I'm certain my director MUST have seen this.

Snooze. What a sedate performance! There is absolutely NO energy in ANYONE in this performance.

General Stanley's going a bit fast. The whole thing makes is less excited than it feels it is. I mean, Azito might not be the best singer, but when you listen to his version you get a real energy to it. This feels like someone was trying to be energetic, but was very sleepy.
