Beautiful and excellent performance! No comments about the gorgeous costumes? A visual extravaganza!
Only ONE BIG historical mistake ... someone stated that Patience came BEFORE Pinafore. Is misrepresenting G&S history a crime? Where is the Lord High Executioner when you really need him?

[@MrCuddlyable3]

With respect to the magnificent Janna Baty (Lady Jane) I am confused by a blonde who complains "Silvered is the raven hair".

[@juvinaraymonds4210]

Yeah, she looked way too young for the part. More golden-haired than silver-haired!

@@juvinaraymonds4210 To hear one fine lady speak well of another lady just uplifted my jaded expectations of humanity. Bless you Jurvina ma'am!
