Wacky Pirateness

[jdotmi]

So, I think I may have scared tetsubun_otaku last night.

I started singing songs from The Pirates of Penzance non-stop.

Over instant messenger.

I then left to watch it. :-p I have a DVD of a theater production of it with Kevin Kline, Linda Rondstadt, and Rex Smith. Ruth isn't played by Angela Lansbury, though. Most of the rest of the cast is the same as the movie version. Even the police guy person. Thankfully the Major General was the same guy!! Well, I think the sisters are different... And some of the pirates...

So there's my piratey thing of the day.

Great show. Hope they release the movie movie version of it on DVD. Want it. Now would be good.

Hubs is a hyuge G&S fan!! I'm scared to let him find out about the Pirate Day thing 'cuz then I'll have to listen to his rant about how the cops aren't supposed to be tenors, etc....

Let me see if I recall this correctly: first time you see cops, they're tenors & baritones. Then the pirates come out & have all the tenors, with the baritones remaining as cops. Or something like that. Oy. I like G&S, but all I know is it's fun. :)

Heh. The cops in my High School production were all girls, except the constable. :-p

The music is written to have both Tenors and Bass/Baritones for cops and pirates both.
