i am going to be singing this in a G & S concert it is the first time i have every sang a principle role but i am so honoured to have been given the chance to be Katisha there is beauty in the bellow of the blast
I've performed in 3 of the operas at the G&S festival in Buxton a few years ago with Nene Opera! It's an amazing experience! Love it! Also not sure about this version though!
I was lucky enough to play Ko-Ko in a production of this amazingly funny G&S play in high school... Let me tell you, I can't go very long without thinking of the fun I had putting this show on, especially this particular song-couplet (did I mention I was also lucky enough to have the hottest girl in school play Katisha)!
This is a very good Katisha. I can tell because I'm a little afraid of her. 😉 Pleasantly slightly creeped out by this. 😉 And I think that's the youngest Koko I've seen outside of a high school production or college production. Which makes her seem older. Which I expect was probably the original idea but most Kokos somehow seem older than she is. Already one of my favorite versions and I've just seen it for the first time five minutes ago. Nicely done. ^_____^
Hello, I'm a relative new comer to the music of G&S. I've always liked this number but I also feel like there is something wrong with this singer's voice. What is your observation? Is he meant to speak to strangely?
Unfortunately, an amateur theatre group that I have joined is performing "Tit Willow" as part of a variety show. I have wide musical tastes and love to hear many of the songs that originated in musical theatre productions. However, there are some songs that need to be heard as part of the whole production - in this case if at all!.
I wonder...does it hurt to be this bad? G & S are probably spinning in their respective graves fast enough to power the eastern seaboard for several years...
Had this stuck in my head for ages

I love her so much. I’m auditioning for her tomorrow.
I burst out laughing at 1:39. Jon English is a funny actor
1:53 for me.
The burbling. 🐦
I enjoyed the humour in this production.
Heh heh...gotta love the random drunk Poo-bah ^^
Wow. I think these two (Koko and Katisha) did a particularly good job with these two songs!
So do I.
Very good. 👏👏👏👏👏
Amazing! Well done and faithful to Gilbert! So few of the G&S videos here are of performances that actually trust the author!

He plunged himself into the blilowy wave and an echo arose from the the suicide’s grave.

Drew Forysthe and Geraint Evans are IMHO the best Ko-Ko's I have yet heard - although Drew's acting gives it the extra edge.
I can't help but feel a little sorry for Ko Ko ^^;
Oh yeah. The muppets sang many classical pieces. As a kid I learned a lot about music watching the muppets.
This is a very good Katisha.

Yaaaay love it
Hehe, i saw them sing this on blue collar tv
Yes, you can get it through Essgee's website.
I read someone say that it may be on the ABC website...and if all else fails, try doing a websearch on Simon Gallaher, the guy who produced this.
