This is one of the reasons I bought ""Topsy Turvy""... that film is filled with wonderful renditions!
-
I really enjoyed this film when it came out. I believe that this interpretation was very close to how it would have been sung when first performed.
-
Bravo Shirley and all the talents involved! thanks again for posting.
-
@CecilyHeron And to you.
-
@goback3spaces Very well said! Merry Christmas to you!

@CecilyHeron Well, I'm sorry you didn't find it, but I'm sure there are others just as good. I don't even know who the singer is who plays Yum Yum. (It's on cassette.) Life is a constant search for excellence. I guess that's why we watch HAMLET over and over again with different actors playing the title role. We spend our lives collecting these experiences.

@goback3spaces I never did find the recording you mentioned, shame, I'd hoped to listen to that.

wonderful... my favorite G & S aria...MM is fabulous
-
@CecilyHeron Hope you find it. It dates back quite a few years. One thing I think is clever about this sequence is that they have the actress reciting Yum Yum's pre-song dialogue offstage to herself (while drinking), then onstage she launches into the song. Nice layering of artistic modes there.

@CecilyHeron Sorry, got Gilbert and Sullivan's names mixed up there.
This is wonderfully delivered. Who cares about the technical singing.

Not odd at all: it's precisely her who played Moaning Myrtle's role!
