Title: Routledge Finally Captured
Product review: Finally we have a permanent record of Patricia Routledge's definite performance as Ruth in "The Pirates of Penzance." Whatever the DVD lacks in technical perfection is more than made up by a level of enthusiasm of the cast and audience, all of whom are having the time of their lives. If you've only heard Estelle Parsons on the LP or CD or seen Angela Lansbury in the fil version, you must buy this DVD to revel in Patricia Routledge. If you only know her from "Keeping Up Appearances," you're in for a treat. As for Kevin Kline, George Rose and Rex Smith -- their performances are dazzling and fresh. This is Broadway -- and Gilbert and Sullivan -- at its spontaneous best.
