Title: Horrible! Horrible!!!
Review: This is by far the worst production of HMS Pinafore I have ever had the misfortune to see. Simply put it is not Gilbert and Sullivan. The genius of Gilbert has been destroyed by silly nonsense, sight gags, pratfalls, pants loosing and boob jokes, there is also a goofy added plot line with Dick Deadeye and Queen Victoria (who turns up at the end) and Sullivan's score is just about unrecognizable. There are long (albeit well-performed) meaningless dance sequence inserted in the oddest places (the tap dance right at the dramatic climax of the 2nd act for example). In a nutshell, the core issue is simply one of respect - it is obvious that there was no respect for or trust in the original work of the team of Gilbert and Sullivan. I found this production to be - in words of Gilbert, which were cut from this production: "Horrible, Horrible!"
