Alley Theatre here in Houston is doing a production of Jane Eyre, it's a non musical. I really enjoyed it. I've been wondering how I'd feel about Jane Eyre going musical and I must say they've done a very impressive job of it. So much of the story is kept in, plus song and dance, and it's 2.5 hours? Impressive.

I adore it

Mr Brocklehurst's fire-and-brimstone ballad is great!

As a huge fan of both Jane Eyre and muscial theater, I'm sorry to say this but I found this musical BORING. It's almost like Mr Richards picked put some famous lines from the book and created a musical around those. There was a "rollicking" dance number by the servants preparing the house for Rochester's return with his party guests, and the only inspiring romantic song was the one performed by servants John and Sophie (?!?!?!....NOT in the book!). I found all the other music to be humdrum, like something a Musical Studies student might write as a first year assignment.There were two lines that caused the audience to laugh inappropriately (one was when Jane commented that she was cold after putting out the fire and attempting to depart from Rochester....a moment of exquisite sweetness from the book, when he first realizes he's in love with her). There was very little interaction between Jane and Edward so the proposal came as something of a surprise. Apparently this show was like the Cliff Notes reminder for those fans who just needed a refresher of the general outline of the story, completely missing the emotional depth of the novel (or most successful theatrical productions). I know I've seen some clips from a far more dramatic and emotional Jane Eyre Musical, guess I'll have to see if that is also available on CZcams. This version isn't even mentioned on Wikipedia!

I'm trying out for this musical on Monday! Wish me luck 🤞

Гоголевский сюжет Молочная капля июльской луны, добавленной в чёрную, летнюю влагу, истёкшей из звёздной и вспененной тьмы, туман создала, как сырую бумагу. Сатиновой краской наполнен простор. Замыленный сок покрывает все мели. Раствор просочился из поля во двор и хочет пролезть в даже трубы и щели. В деревне разлита мучная вода, как будто огромнейший призрак вселился, прилег на плоды, результаты труда. И храм христианский на то согласился. Белёсую смесь навело колдовство, с которым, увы, побороться нет силы. Лишь новый рассвет и его мастерство спасут и рассеют, всё сделав красивым!

No better version. Jon English will own The Pirate King forever.

¿ DÓNDE ESTÁ TIMOTHY DALTON Y ZELAH CLARKE? ESTA HISTORIA DE AMOR ENTRE "JANE EYRE" Y EL "SÑR ROCHESTER" NO ES PARA COMO PARA HACER UN MÚSICAL. LO DIGO CON TODOS MÍS RESPETOS PARA LOS ACTORES QUE HACEN ESTA VERSIÓN. PERO TODO NO VALE CADA COSA EN SU LUGAR. ES MÍ OPINIÓN MUY PERSONAL. RESPETANDO LAS DEMÁS OPINIONES, FALTARÍA MÁS. GRACIAS. MARI.

Anyone have the director's name?

I was watching this thinking I would nod off and go to sleep. That didn't happen but I am exhausted. But fully satiated! So was the Audience!

This is brilliant. Reminds me of a D'Oyly Carte last performance of the season. Pinafore set, pirates costumes and business from most of the others. Dick Deadeye was decidedly effeminate and Ralph Rackstraw was as deformed as I have ever seen. During the curtain calls, the stage crew struck the set until, at the very end, there was nothing of the set left on stage, all the way back to the brick wall.

The EssGee version of Pirates of Penzanze is operetta for people who hate operettas and a special treat for those who love them, extra jokes and lyrics while keeping all the best bits of the show we adore.

Awesome sauce!

Awesome

Amazing people in australia

Great👍👍💖💖💖😍😢 Love from Iran

Can you please identify what production this is? Who is the composer? I love the music, and would love to track it down! (it's not the music from the Broadway musical)

I've always thought of the multiple encores of Cat Like Tread to be the 'conductor's revenge'

Hate to complain but couldn't someone put a hat on the bald head of the orchestra leader. Like watching the full moon at night.

To be honest, I love jane eyre book and also some movie adaptation, but this isn't Rochester, he is too friendly, it's not his temperament.

I never imagined this would be posted after seeing both trailers! I’m eternally grateful!

This just cropped up in my feed and made my day. I live for the day we can safely see shows like this once again. Hang on in there, Opera Australia!

Jane Eyre is my favorite book and anytime I see a movie, series, or play about it I watch them. I've seen two other musicals, but this one has some amazing songs. The two leads have amazing voices and have given us wonderful versions of the characters. Thank you with all my heart to everyone who performed in this and thank you to whomever posted it! I think I've seen it 12 times in the last two weeks.

Thank you!!! 🎩

that was certainly a great performance

What a fantastic production!

What a beautiful musical, thanks for posting this!

A M A ZING!!!!

Is this the Broadway one?

Kevin Kline was less comic/slapstick and more libidinous. Both he and Jon English were great in their way. I think the choreography in the NY Pirates was better, but the dynamics (choral and orchestral) in "With catlike tread" was superior in the Australian production.

I'm sad I missed this one since I live not far from Logan. I love Jane Eyre. I'm impressed with the leads and cried over Helen's song. Nice work.

Who wrote the book and the lyrics?

It was wonderful. Thank you for posting it

Turns out it can be bought in digital form www.essgee.com/html/Videoshoppingpage1.html for anyone that's interested

Salute

I'm so very confused... I love the music, I love the book does it work??? Only half way through guess I'll have to keep watching :-/

Kevin Kline the best Pirate King ever.

The funniest police Sargent was one in the Pirate Movie.

And Tony Azito was the most funniest police Sargent too.

George Rose killed the Major General role.

Rex Smith was the best frederic and Linda Rondstad was the best Mabel so true to top that australia.

Oh. Just wonderfull if you like musical dramas.

Absolutely my favourite version do so wish they would re release it on dvd for the European market. Did have it on vhs but it’s no longer playable due to machine being obsolete now.

still the best updated version of a G&S operetta so funny I think G& S would be watching from the wings and laughing so much, I miss jon English he added such a diferent aspect to these operettas RIP Jon, I saw them when they toured NZ fabulous

Can someone tell me the names of the actors that play Jane & Rochester?

Nice adaptation.😉😉😉 Edward Rochester & Jane Eyre are cute.🥰🥰🥰

Where can you see the whole show please?
