PIRATES OF PENZANCE is usually quite popular.
I had seen the movie version with Kevin Kline. Last year, I saw Anthony Warlow as The Pirate King in the Sydney Opera House engagement in Sydney. He was excellent -- he did remind me of Johnny Depp with his full costume ( and even the swashbuckling ways

) and of course he was in glorious form, voice-wise. I wish I could see Marc in this production - I am curious as to how he would interpret the role.
Good to hear Kevin Burdette is singing with NYC Opera again. I did see him in PATIENCE in 2005.
