Gilbert and Sullivan's raucous operatic tale is captured in all its fun and glory in this production, recorded live at Central Park's Delacorte Theater. Kevin Kline sparkles as the swashbuckling and libidinous Pirate King while Linda Ronstadt makes her theatrical debut as the lovely and virginal Mabel. When Mabel and Frederic, a young pirate bound to serve the Pirate King, fall in love, complications arise and high spirited antics ensue. The incomparable cast offers the best in this boisterous romp.

Despite some of the technical shortcomings of the DVD I found it more rewarding than the 1983 movie. I would thoroughly recommend adding a copy of this DVD to your library.

  • @SingularSuperNinja LOL!! George WHO?? Linda Ronstadt was THE most famous female singer of the decade in the 1970's, toured Europe, was on the covers of numerous nat'l magazines, & had already sold many millions of albums when this was done (early 80s). I repeat-& no disrespect intended-WHO was George Rose? Never heard of him. He may have been big in elite theatre circles, but not to a majority of Americans. The play wouldn't have drawn NEARLY the crowds it did w/out her! I saw it twice-for HER!

  • @Roseburg93 :O))

  • Where can I get this DVD?

  • Some great performances, the only thing that spoilt it for me was that girls looked more like Bett Midlers younger sisters than virginal English maidens.

  • This is just absolutely wonderful! Thanks for sharing it!

  • BLOW LINDA BLOW!!!

  • mmm linda rondstatd

  • I mean more it should be done in character order, ie Mabel and Frederick are the leads, Pirate King, General Stanley and Police Sergent are supporting characters, then highlighted daughters and Samuel (etc)

  • In that case, Tony Azito should have gotten the last bow. ;-)
