Movie Reviews of Gilbert & Sullivan - Pirates of Penzance / Anthony Warlow, David Hobson, Australian Opera
Movie Review: For I am a Pirate King...
Summary: 5 Stars
Think about how many times you've watched jack Sparrow and wondered what he would be like as G&S's Pirate King (You know you have, you G&S fans), and this may be the nearest you'll get to seeing it. Anthony Warlow, always brilliant in his G&S roles, is also quite good at doing a Johnny Depp impression while singing and dancing his way through "The Pirates of Penzance". That alone is worth seeing, but the rest of the production is just as charming. The costumes are beautiful, the singing is excellent, and the Major-General as adorable in his Highlander uniform. The famous film and stage play, starring Kevin Klien,had a great deal of influence on this production, such as the expanded finale and the inclusion of the great patter song from "Ruddigore". Fun and frolicsome, whether you love Gilbert & Sullivan, pirates, or both.
Summary of Gilbert & Sullivan - Pirates of Penzance / Anthony Warlow, David Hobson, Australian Opera
Lock up your daughters, the pirates are coming to town!Peppered with unforgettable melodies and tongue-twisting songs, The Pirates of Penzance is one of the most popular operettas ever written.
Opera Australia's new production is an effervescent smash hit with a national tour and jubilant sellout seasons everywhere.
In spite of being apprenticed to a Pirate King as a child, Frederic has led a very sheltered life. So when he arrives in Penzance with his boisterous shipmates, there are a few surprises in store for him! It all ends happily, but not before he's dodged the Old Bill, fallen in love and made some rather inconvenient discoveries.
Director Stuart Maunder (who last directed this show for D'Oyly Carte Company at London's Savoy Theatre), designers Roger Kirk, Richard Roberts and Trudy Dalgleish, choreographer Elizabeth Hill and a stellar cast join forces once again to present a spirited new production of this Gilbert and Sullivan classic.
This bright and breezy production is guaranteed to have you laughing all the way home; it's a big adventure book for boys where our swashbuckling Pirate King meets his match in the bumbling Major General.
Starring Anthony Warlow, David Hobson, John Bolton Wood, Taryn Fiebig and Suzanne Johnston as Ruth
If G&S is your thing, you'll love every moment of this joyful production
