I feel like the conductor rushed "Where's the Girl," a bit. Much prefer the tempo on the Broadway cast recording.
Thank you so much for uploading! Could you possibly post the full show?
We seek him heEeEeEre, we seek him theeEeEeRe, Those Frenchies... seeeEeEekH him... everPHywherEeEe. Is he in heaven? or, is he in ... heEeEell ? That demmed ... elusive ... Pimperneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeel!
Incredible. wow.
The high notes are AMAZING!!!
SP2 is poor compared to SP1, especially because of the cheap jokes added, and the loss of Christine Andreas and Terrence Mann.
Love it
Douglas Sills timing, physicality, and charisma make hi. The perfect Percy Blakeney.
Does anyone have any idea on what is being said at 4:41 ? I get Percy asking Marguerite to dance, but I don't quite know what she says in response.
Saw this in 2000, twice in San Francisco, once in Los Angeles. Douglas Sills always spent a lot of time at the stage door chatting with fans. He's a lovely fellow.
When this show toured to my hometown, the applause and cheering from this number stopped the performance cold for a full three minutes.
Another rock singer who can really sing - this is Falcon in the Dive, he plays Chauvelin in 1999. Wish I'd seen it. He also starred as the hero in Pirates of Penzance with Linda Ronstadt and they both could really sing, not just rock junk. The film.
God I know bootlegs are not good, but I desperately want this one. I know it exists and yet I evades my grasp. Amazing performance!!
Same!!! 😭
If I could go back in time and see this!!
I need subs despite being fluent I'm missing half the jokes T-T
Unbelievable singing! Wish we could hear it to the end!
God damn that man can sing!
I would literally sell my soul to see the full show- why isnt it on CZcams???
Your soul is eternal and worth so much more than anything in this life. Jesus paid for it with His blood, for you to go to heaven, not hell, if you just repent of your sins and turn toHim as Lord and Saviour. I understand it is just an expression, but your soul is real!
Whoever wrote the music, such as Where's the Girl, has no knowledge or doesn't care about the style of composition at the end of the 18th century. Look at late Mozart, early Beethoven, Haydn! It's right there for the modern composer. Just adjust! The music is unbearably inappropriate to the period.
My criticism is the costuming of the women. Those full skirts, overfull, are anachronistic, totally. By the early 1790's, the years of the Terror, skirts had become narrower with a ribbon below the bust, more Grecian style. Marie Antoinette started this style in the last years of her life.
I so wish I had seen this. I have one small criticism - Marguerite's clothing styles are 1780's with exaggeratedly wide skirts. By the early 90's, this had been modified to a more Grecian columnar gown, not entirely, but full skirts were much less full. See portraits in the Met Museum and the Frick.
This must be one of the most godawful songs I have ever heard from a Broadway musical. The whole premise of the production is mistaken - the director has created this as a comedy, while Baroness Orczy's novel was dead serious and took heroism seriously. Luckily, I was unaware of it when I lived in New York and never wasted a ticket on it. I find most reprehensible the audience's laughter elicited by all the hijinks on stage. What a miss!
If you've never seen the show you don't know what you're missing. They're intentionally being ridiculous here, trying to sell themselves to the prince as foppish, brainless nitwits, but there is plenty of serious drama and intrigue throughout the show as well. I feel sorry for you that you haven't seen it. It's one of my all time favorites.
@@maicey_t. The show is such a good balance between comedy and drama, definitely one of my favorite musicals of all time
So I know I’m a little late to this video, but I just wanted to express how much I love this scene in particular. I just finished playing Sir Percy a few weeks ago, and let me tell you, there was no moment that was more entertaining than this little poem. This little quatrain was such a great little moment. And Douglas Sills does such a great job playing this fashionable top. I remember during rehearsals I would watch this video for inspiration. So I’d like to thank not only Douglas Sills for his performance, but also to the lovely human who posted this video. Thanks so much.
Somehow I just prefer Rachel York to Christine Andreas as Marguerite
I know your website is down but if this is still available to trade please comment/message me
Ugh I wish there was a way to watch the whole show 😭😭😭😭 I can’t find a good English version anywhere.
this is the great lament of the Broadway world of us <3 !!!!!!
Thank you so much for uploading all these great videos from this amazing (and my all-time favourite!) show!!! Is the full thing available anywhere? I want to see it more than any other show!!
Letting the audience know that Grappin is really Percy adds so much humour of this scene! This show is amazing; I can't get over it!! I love how Rex Smith just hits and sustains that last note like it's the easiest thing! Incredible! Does anybody know where the full show could be found?
Douglas Sills is the best!! I'd watch anything with him in it. You can tell how much fun he's having in this show, and I just can't help having so much fun watching it! I love it!! Is this whole show available? I really want to see the entire thing!
This show is wonderful!! And those costumes! My goodness, I love it. I've never heard laughter and applause like that before!! The audience is in paroxysms!! And I'm right there with them! Is this full show available anywhere? I want to see it SO bad!!
Wow, Rex Smith's energy and passion are so compelling! He's great! And the show is so very funny! I wish I could see this whole thing (the 2.0 cast). Does anyone know where I could find such a thing?
Rex is the best! So good
i love Douglas Sills oml
Yeah...he is better than Terrence Mann ...like...a lot. I wish I had a copy of this version.
The Scarlet Pimpernel Broadway Encore cd has Rex Smith's versions of the big Chauvelin numbers, absolutely my favorites. Can probably still get it on AmazonorEbay
@@RealWolfmanDan The one I have is definitely Terrance Mann's. I wonder if I have a defunct recording...
I love this song, but I watched this video specifically to see the choreography - SO much wasted opportunity. If anyone knows of a video with appropriately passionate choreography for the song, please point me to it!
I couldn’t agree more! I listened to this song for about a month, imagining such whimsical choreography, and now that I see the footage, I’m just so confused as why the choreography....is so nonexistent. Love the musical tho. Amazing.
I recommend the german version. The 2008 Baden one is pro-shot. And it's fun!
Seriously I thought the same thing, the recording of this song is so tremendously passionate to the point of violence, sensuality, betrayal, and despair, I was expecting something grand and dramatic. If anyone performs or portrays this musical I hope they rectify this game of shadows and lies
Was this from the final performance?
I WANT TO SEE THIS SHOW SO BAD
5:55 my favorite part :D
the reviews on this are wild,,,,,,,,,, either smith is disgusting or mann is there is no inbetween
That Key change tho
That end note yaaaas
Where can you see this version in its entirety? Rex's voice has so much more power and passion than Terrance's!!
Percy has so much fun being a troll in this scene
Love his trolling in this scene, but he is the king of trolling throughout the entire show. It's priceless!
What does chaulver say when before everyone claps???????
she asks" who?" and he responded "your brother you little tramp"
Since no one else has an existing comment containing this line, I'll oblige. He says: "Your brother's, you little tramp."
Too bad we didn't get to hear the full last note. I wasn't crazy about him just shouting certain words for emphasis... got too repetitive for my liking. He has the vocal strength and a great sound and could have pulled off singing more just fine.
This song sounds quite like some Beauty and the Beast songs, I like it very much though.
I'd like to trade for the full show!
THANKYOU♥LOVE♥REX♥♡♥
Hey, Interested in getting a copy of the full Pimpernel video, honestly if you know anywhere I could by a video recording of the Broadway show I'd be really grateful too, I'm bummed this isn't easier to find, it's one of my favorite shows! Cheers, Lu
