Again I wish I could have seen this production. It's so well costumed and acted. This song is hilarious! love the little gestures the "wise men" do. Poor King Paramount to have those guys breathing down his neck.

Great :)

IMO, one of the wisemen should be fat, and the other skinny...that's good schtick!

Very nice performance. Would have been great to see it live! In my most humble opinion, UTOPIA LIMITED is the most underrated of all G&S operas. The play has very humorous moments and Sullivan's score is among his best for the Savoy light operas. I think Utopia was less of a success not so much for any shortcomings it may have possessed, but rather because the public's tastes were changing. THE GRAND DUKE which followed three years later, failed because it definitely had numerous faults.

In lazy languor motionless - Utopia Ltd.by asaunders6738367 views
I like how, at the rhyme for "A pound of Dynamite" ("a mite"), the actor playing Phantis shows he hand signal for small. It adds even more humor to this hilarious song. Thanks for uploading this! I loved Utopia, Limited, but it doesn't often appear on YouTube. You don't happen to have or know someone who has A Tenor All Singers Above, do you? That was my absolute favorite song, but all the videos of it online seem to be very poor quality, which is such a shame: it's a beautiful song. Thanks! ^_^

@lijluvr356 OK, I just put "A Tenor All Singers Above" up, from that same production. There's not much to the staging, but he sings well. Our director set it Utopia in the 1920s so Zara's costume looks like that. And the order of Act 2 was changed, so it starts not as the opening of the act, but following "Eagle High."
