Sweet. Will have.

[ladysmith.livejournal.com]

Oh, yay!!! I LOVE that version.

[ladysmith.livejournal.com]

Now, if I remember right, wasn't that scene all ad-lib?

[darthparadox.livejournal.com]

Oh, fantastic. The One True Version, as far as I'm concerned - at least, barring a videotape of a century-old Savoy Theatre production turning up. :D

[mimiheart.livejournal.com]

Yay. That's my sister's birthday. Unfortunately, she won't care.

THAT'S AWESOME!

Excellent!

Through random chance I happen to have the 1982 Gilbert and Sullivan - Favorite's Collection (http://www.amazon.com/Gilbert-Sullivan-Favorites-Collection-Opera/dp/B00006JU6J/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1276569498&sr=1-6) which contains Pirates of Penzance but it just isn't the same as this one.

Yay - now know what I'm giving my mother for Christmas, and giving myself for that matter!

[hitchkitty.livejournal.com]

Oh, hells yes. This was the one that induced my love of pattersongs.

[bayushisan.livejournal.com]

That I don't know. Wouldn't be surprised if it was though.

That wasn't out yet? Wow.

[jcbemis.livejournal.com]

No, it's been one of the Great Mysteries of DVD Releases. There's a DVD of a live Shakespeare-In-The-Park production of it, with Estelle Parsons instead of Angela Lansbury, and that's great and much fun, but it's not the movie.

At last!!!

And now about us over here in Region 2?

[drzarron.livejournal.com]

YESYESYESYESYESYES two copies ordered YESYESYEZ

[drzarron.livejournal.com]

The film was made in 1983, using 99% of the cast of the great Papp version that was having a boffo run on Broadway. Weirdly enough, it showed on PBS "Great Performances" before it had a brief run in theatres.

It was released on VHS and on LaserDisk (which I have) but only in Pan&Scan.

SQUEEEEEEEEE!!!

[aota.livejournal.com]

One of my favorite version of Pirates of Penzance. Used to watch it all the time on HBO.

[ifics.livejournal.com]

I've never seen the film, this will be a time to correct that. Hope the library gets a copy.
