Oh no, they drugged dad.
@@carlsberg-gs6rl no he hasn't
YOUR HERE BECAUSE OF BOB TOO…
And a one and a two!!
@@DarthPhallixbaby on board, how i adore,that tiny yellow sign can't be ignored
It stands to show the enduring brilliance of G&S that their operettas are still being performed well over a century later!
Bad ass entrance by the baritones literally dropping into the stage - bravo!
I like these innovations! It has a joyous, fun, silly spirit like the original, that's the main thing. This 134-year-young music never really gets old.
Sideshow bob " and a one and a two and a .."
Love Sideshow Bob
I want to really see Kelsey Grammer in this
the Simpsons brought me here with this classic musical!
@torgo21 Like I said below, this is really more for those on the "Gilbert" side of "Gilbert and Sullivan," like me, ie, those who care more about the snarkiness and comedy than matching the old master note for note.
So I suppose Sullivan is rolling in his grave listening to this, and his fans are moaning over this stylization of the Master's work.
However, Gilbert's giggling, I'm sure, and nudging Sullivan, saying "Oh, lighten up, Arhur!" who of course replies- "We are not amused!"
;)
On the contrary i think Gilbert and Sullivan would have loved this.
2 kinds of people watch this: People who don't have a lot of interest or exposure to theater and like this for being able to relate to this production and have fun with it and true theater goers who don't want their classics messed with and hate messing with tradition.
Personally I think this is a smart production: It knows that it won't appeal to the high theater goers so it doesn't even try and it just has fun.
Ternel wrong I'm a high theatre goer person but I also do a lot of theatre work
Simpson fan too
@@ricardomaidan5190 Although to OP's point, Sideshow Bob strikes me as the hardcore theater fan who hates seeing tradition messed with.
What a delightful video. The choreography was superb with such precise timing.
I liked the added touch of humour at the beginning where the crew member is 'cleaning' the decorative statue of a woman.
The cast must have practised for hours to get their dance routine so polished.
I must also compliment the videographer for the choice of shots.
A truly enjoyable show, I wish I could have been present for the live and full performance. P.S.F. 15/06/10
Opera and fun at the same time; G & S were sheer geniuses.
+Roger Propes Biting Satire with Songs
+Antony Sawyer But G & S wouldn't have approved of the gay overtones in the 1880's.
Roger Propes You can have whatever overtones you want with G&S they produced very good music and it has stood the test of time
What do you think the slang Navy Cake refers to. When G&S wrote Pinafore the term rum bum and baccy did not refer to the Army
Most operas are fun, not only G&S
@@rogerpropes7129 they were friends with oscar wilde and there are obvious homoerotic undertones in iolanthe; they probably wouldn't have minded. (especially given that one of the principal themes of pinafore is that anybody should be allowed to love whoever they want.)
This is truly an imaginative and creative production of this fun operetta!
A remix, but a faithful one.
I like it.
I love their interpretation and their performance is immaculate!
I love this song this was part of a repoitroire of songs for choir!! love it
I luv these versions of gs they r so much fun tried to get the DVD.s but they cost a fortune.
This production got me through the mumps when it was on Sky Arts a few Christmases ago!
Its amazing.
I know this because of the Simpsons ;)
used to watch this as a kid! john english is hilarious!
Sideshow brought me here
I love this version,maybe not quite as Gand S intended, but such fun. I adore Simon gallaher's voice!
thumbs up if sideshow bob sent you here
I shall send you to heaven! Before I send you to hell.
This was so great!
My choir group males are doing this song for the fall concert, i dont think we will be able to compare :S
Should be fun though, i love this song!
Okay, hold up.
Is everybody here because of The Simpsons?
It's not just me, right?
That is why I'm here! Cape Feare
Nope because I have to learn this song for my highland dance hornpipe
Nope I'm here because we did it for the National Children's Choir when I was younger. Taking a trip down memory lane.
I’m hear because my violin had the song in it lol
Mass effect 2.
I love thisshow
Every time i hear this song now, I think of side-show bob
This is DEFINITELY a version for those more on the Gilbert side of the music (those in favor of snarkiness and wit and parody) than the Sullivan (the brilliant music and orchestration.)
This takes all the liberties that Gilbert loved to take, and many of those that Sullivan HATED.
But I like it (and in any case- watch the "Little Buttercup" number from this same production- GREAT Buttercup, one of the best I've ever seen, really captures the fun of the song and character.) We ARE amused!
Now that is a great production!
G&S had a great deal of humor in their musicals and this rendition captures it completly.
How does one go about getting a DVD of this performance?
Wish I had seen that performance!
This is an australian production dick is played by a bloke called jon english he also plays the pirate king in essgee's pirates of penzance (my favourite)
@crzxr Well, the DO say they're doing a more musical-based version of it, they're not pretending to do this in the typical G&S style.
For what it's worth, I like this and LOVE the regular, G&S style, THAT can't be beat...but this is alright for a change of pace so long as you know they're just having fun with it and not attempting to capture the beauty of Sullivan's score, this is playing around more in the Gilbert Side, the whole production's his sort of satire--satire of G&S's style... ;)
Is it just me that every time a conductor comes on stage, I clap. Even if it's a recording. #choirproblems
Cecilia Viana just you
Don’t listen to the naysayers. I clap.
She's a bit rough ... I mean the performance, but they're having a ton of fun! Isn't that what it's all about?
God this really makes me want to partake in a production of "pinafore" now :o)
he does the best version!
@SeveredHarisn this is the best one ive found on youtube
Exactly. As you say, 'the point of Gilbert and Sullivan is to entertain.' I have said nothing against or for doing G&S in different ways; but the one thing I do ask is that they entertain. END.
@torgo21 I'll agree their choreography is only so-so.
However, I don't think it's bad because trading choreography for booming voices is still just one form of spectacle for another.
What's important is how they portray the characters and drive the plot, character and plot matter far more, for without a good plot or fun characters, even with Sullivan's music and Gilbert's sense of humor, Pinafore would have sunk.
And the mains play their parts well, especially the lovers and Buttercup.
Well you know what they say, there's no accounting for taste! Yep he does it for me, I like older men that's all I'm saying!
lovin' the sailors dancing ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
I think G&S would have lived this.
@Darkestrose99 I agree!!! He always practically MADE the 3 shows for me! :o)
it's like a remix of the original. But it's good
It is a very nice version but a bit to panto esk for my liking. I like to see different versions though so thanks for this. :)
@crzxr Sorry I disagree! I have seen and appeared in conventional G and S down the years. This Australian Company (ESSGEE) have breathed life into Pinafore, Pirates and Mikado and played them to packed houses in Aus and NZ. Sullivan may turn in his grave but I am sure Gilbert would love it with jokes brought up to date in 1997 - 2000 or so. Mikado in particular is hilarious.
@intercomsec
Made them heaps of money on the tour tho.. and made me like G&S..
I'd rather pay to see Sideshow Bob's version.
Okay, I really didn't like this at first - but the more I watch it, the more I think WS Gilbert would have approved (Arthur Sullivan - probably not so much).
What a strange thing to say! I think you could have phrased it better! Anyway I can assure you I'm not, I love Jon English (especially as the Pirate King in Pirates of Penzance, I like a bit of rough!)
Bro who are you even talking to?
THUMBS UP FOR SIDESHOW BOB DOING IT BETTER THAN THIS LOL!!
If anyone thinks it necessary, let alone desirable, to distort G&S in this manner, I think the point of their work has been missed by several miles; a circumstance that I hope is not emulated by this Pinafore and a high explosive mine.
While I have no trouble with alternate interpretations of classics (e.g. I always thought the Brian Macdonald versions of G.&S. were tons of fun), they have to be good. I have to agree that the "modern" arrangement with the electronics and the drum kit pretty much sucks.
I don't think they claim to be. It's just for fun, there's plenty of 'proper' G&S if you want it. Strange I manage to watch without being drawn to their (ahem) 'private areas' and yes, I am female!
I'm here because Woody woodpecker
BC,llsamson and Delilah
Is this on Dvd ?
Yeah I'm not sure about this arrangement, guess I'm a traditionalist =P
Of course they are not opera singers...G&S is operetta!
So don't look!
Disco beat G&S?
Where can i buy these version?
+Manuel Romero the official Essgee website has all three for a combined cost of about $80 on DVD! Or you can pick and choose from the three :) Definitely worth having on DVD!
Maddy Hatter
thanks for the info, i live in Argentina, hopefully they make shipments
I think they do! The shows are known internationally, particularly Pirates. So I would assume they would ship internationally, it may just be a bit expensive!
you can watch it for free here ruclips.net/video/_vDsRd-IkZY/видео.html
We stand to our guns all gay?
+zzzut Gay means happy
+TheRoyalThief I am aware of the many meanings of the word "gay" but it is beside the point! I was only joking because of the intented "gay-ambiguousness" of the production! The actual lyrics are: We stand to our guns all day.
he is being sarcastic because these looks like gay actors
lyrics
Album: Hms Pinafore
We sail the ocean blue,
And our saucy ship's a beauty;
We're sober men and true,
And attentive to our duty.
When the balls whistle free
O'er the bright blue sea,
We stand to our guns all day;
When at anchor we ride
On the Portsmouth tide,
We have plenty of time for play.
Ahoy! Ahoy!
The balls whistle free
Ahoy! Ahoy!
Over the bright blue sea,
We stand to our guns, to our guns all day.
We sail the ocean blue,
And our saucy ship's a beauty;
We're sober men and true,
And attentive to our duty.
Our saucy ship's a beauty,
We're attentive to our duty,
We're sober men and true,
We sail the ocean blue
I suppose that's their version of the overture. This looks like it could be fun to watch if you'd never seen or done the original, but it just made me cringe... :/
Totally disagree, I think G&S would very much approve!
What nationality are the sailors..Dick don;t sound english
MrP13r5 dick Whittington is from portley in gloustershire
I was in a production of this musical last year. This is the WORST production I have ever seen. Of anything. The only redeeming moment is when that tar was caught swabbing the statue's breast.
Shut the hell up or I’ll swab your breast man
i don't think sullivan would approve of you destroying his music!
he's dead so fuck his views 🤷♀️
What would Gilbert think? I wanna get the full picture.
