Movie Reviews of Gilbert & Sullivan - H.M.S. Pinafore / Marshall, Howerd, Jones, Opera World
Movie Review: Camp, Camp, Camp and we love it!
Summary: 5 Stars
My boys (including my husband) are diehard Simpsons fans. In the famous Sidewhow Bob episode where he tries to kill Bart, Bart requests that Bob first sing the entire HMS Pinafore from Gilbert and Sullivan. My 10 year old began to sing along often enough so that I thought it would be a good idea to buy the soundtrack.
When I came across this DVD version including Hollywood Squares presenter Peter Marshall (a blast from my past) and the legendary british comic Frankie Howard for such a respectable price, the choice was made.
Since the purchase, my boys have become much more interested in music and instead of Bob the Bouwer, we've moved on the Gilbert and Sullivan and even Tchaikovsky.
The production is obviously very thrown together but that just adds to the fun. Peter Marshall's dancing and singing abilities are called in doubt many many times, but it's so camp, it's just great. Frankie Howard is outstanding, comedic and just a pleasure. For real singing, the daughter and her love, the true captain are quite good and undoubtely professionals.
I need to break out my old college books and start looking for more satirical operetta's because this one is just great!!
