Any Gilbert & Sullivan fans on here? — Page 2

I love G&S because no matter how old their works are, they are still so relevant and funny today! I did 'Poor Wand'ring One' for all of my college auditions this year because I'm a total dork. :0) While I'm familiar with 'Pirates' and 'Mikado,' I really have to get moving on their other material!

I don't really like their stuff on its own, but I love their stuff via Jeanine Tesori.

Love G&S. "Mikado", "Pinafore" (grandmother used to sing "Sorry Her Lot" when I was a toddler. Played Josephine in 8th grade). And "Topsy-Turvy" was a wonderful film.

My all time favorite though is "The Pirate of Penzance." I treasure the DVD of the Central Park production w. Kline, Rose, etc. but I love it mostly for the delicious Ruth of Patricia Routledge.

PS - Has anyone ever heard Anna Russell's musical dissertation "How to Write Your Own Gilbert and Sullivan Opera"? It's priceless.

"Phantom_Tenor - Are you an Aussie?"

Sure am. :P Why do you ask?
