My experience in musicals has regretably been all American, but I love G&S which has the wit and tunes to remain the epitome of English wit and charm. The 1999 Mike Leigh film "Topsy Turvy" is my favorite movie about show biz.

Helen used it to explore Harpo Marx (one of my favourite actors) and you use it to explore Patience - which has always been my very favourite G&S opera.

It is too bad Gilbert & Sullivan are not so well known among the younger set these days because their witty satire is just as spot-on today as it was when they wrote their wonderful operettas - governments and such institutions never really changing much! And to be a part of it all onstage - what a kick! Always fun to dress up & pretend you're somebody else. I really miss Groveland's Pine Cone Players, & way back, the fun we had putting on the Gascapades with all the skits & dancing & singing when we lived in far northern Calif. Sonora has 3 professional live-theatre groups, but I'd love to find a totally amateur group to just have fun with. Maybe one day . . . :))La Nightingailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04769079547153094005noreply@blogger.com
