Absolutely brilliant! Exactly as G&S would have liked it. Look in YouTube, there are several other wonderful Sir Josephs I'm doing this show as a humble sailor- my one and and only Amdram, and am looking forward to it. I'll post the video if someone videos it!
This production was originally planned to be a simple concert performance, with the vocalists carrying scores (if they wish) and wearing formal or semi-formal evening wear. It was the performers who wanted to do a fully-costumed semi-staged version -- no choreography was ever planned or even desired -- and our audiences LOVED the finished product!
Yea. Thats great. It's quite different to the way we did it a few weeks ago. We performed it in a theatre and the orchestra was in an orchestra pit in front of the stage
LOL! Watch and you'll see that some of the sailors did have some blue in their outfits - after all, they all sang, "WE SAIL THE OCEAN BLUE, AND OUR SAUCY SHIP'S A BEAUTY!"
