I think they are wonderful!!!! How they incorporate the humor and add different songs from different operas is refreshing and shows the depth of originality. The singing is good too.

A wand'ring minstrel, I — a thing of shreds and patches, of ballads, songs and snatches, and dreamy lullaby...

Somehow this works!

@gavpowell1981 Well, considering he's not a lyricist, I don't think he can be compared to Gilbert.
And Jesus Christ Superstar and Evita beg to differ, though they are the exceptions to the rule.

Many songs from other G&S operettas are used in a melody from They are as follows:
I Have a Song to Sing-O (The Yeomen of the Guard)
When First My Old Old Love I Knew (Trial By Jury)
Take a Pair Of Sparking Eyes (The Gondoliers)
If You Go In Your Sure To Win (Iolanthe)
Dance a Cachuca (instrumental) (The Gondoliers)

@ijones39 I don't think LLoyd-Webber has anything like the skill to compose anything with the wit of WS Gilbert or music as charming as Arthur Sullivan's - he writes very lightweight stuff for the benefit of tourists.

"I would like to sing... 'A little wooden boy'... @_@"

I think Andrew Lloyd Webber ought to compose a few operas in the Gilbert and Sullivan style just to keep the "Opera Comique" idiom in vogue.
-
Of the clips from this production - I must say I liked this one the best. For one thing there were no cuts, and no major text changes. Nanki-Poo is great and sings beautifully and the weird re-orchestration (which I generally hate) is not as odious here as it is in some of the other songs. I didn't really mind the addition of all the clips form other G&S at the end. It was fun to try to recognize them quickly!

To this day, I can't get past 0:46, without thinking...
"threads and--"
"NEXT!"
"patches..."
"THANK YOU!"

This is entertaining- visually beautiful- ok- fun, I like it- but- this is not authentic G and S. Once you've seen the real deal- done completely straight- you've see it all.
