I am the Very Model of a Modern Major-General

Yay, I finally figured out how to get the video up! This is me as Major-General Stanley in Fiorello H. La Guardia High School of Music and Art and the Performing Arts' production of "The Pirates of Penzance." Directed by Nathaniel Merchant.

what did he do at 1:49?

[bwaylvsong]

@ProdigyStepper to tell you the truth, I don't entirely remember. I think I was waving down to the masses to stop applause that didn't exist.

[ebenezerstick]

you're a very good signer, did you know that?

[bwaylvsong]

Thank you!

TRWolf, I understand that you are British yourself and are a huge fan of G&S. However, you fail to realize that we are American High School students. We weren't attempting English accents, we were doing them. We Americans also notice a lack of a perfect accent when you Brits speak "American." We didn't have that much rehearsal time with the orchestra, and I personally found it diffficult to see and hear them due to the huge hat over my head. We also didn't have enough guys...

It must be difficult singing in a different accent (though you made me smile in the first verse).

@adamswampy- he was refering to part of the song with "pray observe the magnanimity"

[SandraHoyt]

The costumes are great. Good job!

@adamswampy Supercilious manky twit.

[adamswampy]

TRWolf - Have you any idea how pompous you sound? And what's with the "Pray observe....."? No one talks like that in this day and age. What next ? Egad and Gadzooks? Grow up you pillock.
