  • I think the Sergeant should've played the Major General. He has the exact same physical/vocal attributes as him. The Sergeant is the comical highlight in the show, the afrc (absolutely fucking ridiculous character) and can get away with anything and cannot be called over acting, They're not using what can have!

  • I'm not sure about that Frederick... he's meant to be incredibly handsome, a 'thing of beauty' ... and just turned 21! Wheras this chap looks more like the Go Compare tenor... Using the box to acknowledge his shortness was funny though! The music could've been a touch louder (or the chorus mics turned down a little), but aside that, very good! :)

  • For an amateur production, I think it's pretty good.

    It's also nice to see a more traditional looking Police Sergeant.

  • This is a great production.

  • lol at short frederic ^^

  • The music was far to quiet. and the movement very light. were you trying not to wake someone who was sleping? The chorus member who yelled when Mabel said "Death" was highly distracting. This number is supposed to be loud and fun. the whole idea is that they are the worse policemen in the world because they are loud. The music needed to be much, much louder.

  • What an absolute delight, smiled all the way through this! My husband is off whistling this, took him back to his Gilbert & Sullivan days in College! Most enjoyable, thank you!

  • I think its brilliant, well interpreted. And funny too.

  • not a bad job for the shape they are in i place blame on the director. the parts of the police are meant to be played nimble young men, and even for a well trained musical artist, this can be a difficult part...some coriographs of this bit are quite complicated/hard

  • I think some of the criticism is a bit harsh! They are amateurs and the Gent's chorus isn't exactly in the first flush of youth.

    I'd pay money to watch them :)
