Title: Really funny Pirates
Product review: This presentatain of Pirates of Penzance is absolutely hilarious. I am an octogenarian and my earlier experience of the G & S classic would therefore be old school, possibly, old hat. I actually played Frederick, in public, in 1960.They might not have been 100 per cent faithful to the score and libretto but they were close enough. What blew my mind was the amount and wild quality of the 'stuff'. The sting in the tail was when the Pirates happened upon and took apart a production of another G & S comic opera H. M. S. Pinafore. That was delightfully out of order.If Sir Arthur had seen this version he might have scoffed. Gilbert, I am sure, would have been doing cartwheels. I dropped a star because if they hed been faithful to the score it would not have changed the picture one bit. Really great entertainment and actually great acting.
