Brent spyner brought me here
I would pay money to see Kelsey Grammer as Sideshow bob perform live in theater. I'd pay up to 500 dollars a ticket.
Haha,, I just rewatched that episode. Cape feare.
i'd lick my own butthole on stage.

Look, we all know why we’re here and where we came from
So wonderful of the Wichita Grand Opera to make this available!
my mom purchased this album for me back in 1963,me and my sister's loved singing to it.
This one time a criminal called sideshow bob sung this entire thing to me on my houseboat and almost killed me after. 10/10 would listen to again
You're lucky you crashed into that brothel.
"bake 'em away toys!"
BY LUCIFER’S BEARD!
m airey uhhhh, yeah.
Jake Ochsner Do you get the reference?
Crocadillet Skillet yep that’s why I typed what Wiggum said right after.
Jake Ochsner Ohhh I see. I thought you were just saying uuhh yea because you didn’t get it but I forgot that Wiggum said that.
Wow. Not living in an English-speaking country, I've never had the chance to see this before. Thank you kindly for remedying that. This was magnificent.
I applaud your efforts, not only in bringing the piece, but also the excellent quality of the recording and editing of the video to produce this fantastic end result :)
The rap was painful viewing but the rest was pretty damn good!
Where was the rap?
Hamilton it ain’t
As a native English speaker I have the two male leads as English but a good effort by the rest of the cast with the accents. The two female leads are made for their parts giving excellent performances. After a nervy start by the matelots in the opening scene everyone settles down and the cast looked like they enjoyed the performance as much as I did.
I never knew it takes 1 hour 43 minutes to get to Springfield by boat
Our company is doing HMS Pinafore in June. Rehearsals are going well, but as they stop and start we don't get the gist of the whole show. This performance has helped put everything in perspective. Well-done. Good diction, despite not being "English".
Love how Sir Joseph is the one honored in the end
I think that we all need some comic relief today and this is perfect to the tee.
Bake him away, toys!
Just do what the kid says
I shall send you to heaven, before I send you to hell.
Great job! Enjoyed watching this! We're doing HMS Pinafore in Brookings, SD now (March 2019). It never goes out of style!
Very enjoyable performance.
I've been backstage in a community production of this show all year (costume crew in the fall, ASM this spring so I was frequently subbing in for Deadeye, Captain, and Sir Joseph, as well as being a placeholder in the ladies' chorus and doing Josephine's dialogue), and only now am I able to hear/understand half of Josephine's lyrics... overall, this is a very well-done performance of this fantastic show, with a few obvious mistakes (always forgivable, since it's the joy of live theater). I particularly like the Bell Trio and how "Bell" was taken so literally to add some silliness to an already infectiously-happy number.
Wunderbar, Wundervoll und zeitlos...vielen Dank dafür!!! Amazing, Wonderful and beyond times...Thank you very much for that! Greetings from Bottrop, Germany.
thanks for a wonderful performance of my favourite G&S opera; a more spirited version than the D'oyly Carte video I had. Colin Ball UK
I've never even heard of this musical before Sideshow Bob sang it. So here I am.
My choir just performed Trial by Jury. This is one Gilbert and Sullivan I've heard of, but never actually saw until now.
The line where the sailors refer to themselves sober always cracks me up.
Come on one and all - some of these comments are a little nit-picky. I once saw a production of HMCS (yes, not HMS) Pinafore. It ran the year celebrating the 100th Anniversary of the Royal Canadian Navy. Lyrics were rewritten substantially to incorporate Canadian content - references to the Dartmouth tide for example (close to a major Cdn naval base). Priceless - and according to the retired navy men&women i was sitting with, splendidly done. So the production had not followed the original script but it was excellent none the less
I learned so goddamn much from watching the Simpsons as a child.
A fine performance! Our appreciation to the performers and crew.
great show
Who else came here after watching The Simpsons?
Haha I love the screw up at the start.
Gorgeous production!
Wow, Jack Straw's soliliquay was exquisite!
Star Trek: Insurrection brought me here.
Mr. Data...
Happy days.
Enjoy. some 50 years ago I played the Bosons Mate at a high School play. It was fun. lol..
“And now for the final curtain...”
Never quote understood why Ralph Rackstraw and Captain Corcoran are not the same age. Logically, they must be.
I shall send you to heaven, before I send you to hell
Simpsons brought me here
Excellent Buttercup!
The crew are short handed - perhaps the rest are on the gun deck?
yes, down to cuts obviously
en HD s epodra conseguir?
I notice there are several lyrics missing- why is that?
probably for time
Look out for Orlando Pearson's The Sorceress and the Sea-Lord released on 30 April. First Sea-Lord, Sir Joseph Porter, meets Sherlock Holmes
This screwed up version is somewhat... FUN!
WichitaGrandOpera calls this 'Gilbert & Sullivan's "THE MARRIAGE OF FIGARO" ' so will their next production be 'Mozart's "H.M.S. PINAFORE" ' ?
Try the Ess Gee version
Bake 'em away toys!
I have no idea who sideshow bob is.
H.M.S. Pinafore is a favorite of mine but the Captain turning out to be an ordinary sailor means that Josephine is the daughter of an ordinary sailor and not fit to be the wife of a Captain as was the previous case for Buttercup. According to the moral universe set forth in the opera itself, if Josephine is allowed to marry Ralph Rackstraw at the end of the performance then the whole cast might as well just strip naked, pour cooking oil over their heads and lie down! I get that it is just a light comedy but I always find the plot hole a bit distracting.
Brolliant
I know it's tough to sing, but it's slightly too fast for their practice and diction capabilities, nice costumes, maybe a few years older than the setting.
Who else came here because of Chris Delia on tfatk
The Bosun overdoes it a bit. Buttercup is good, as is Josephine, who makes the best of a rather one dimensional part. OK Ralph holds his Bb shorter than is desirable, but otherwise he is good. Ultimately this show depends not on the principal comedian, but on the Captain, and this chap sings beautifully, and he is handsome, the problem is his spoken dialogue is weak (You can tell that I am a former captain myself!)
This show would have been better with a bigger chorus, but I have enjoyed watching it. Well done everyone.
Brent spyner brought me heare
Hurrah! for this show, which is almost everything an HMS Pinafore should be. One prefers to overlook an tasteless "rap" blot at 31:49, the distortings of "Corcoran" at 32:48 (Frankie Howerd ruined a Pinafore film doing that) and surreal tricycles that can only detract from the song "Never Mind the Why and Wherefore" and should NOT be left parked on stage. But of energy, music and authentic charm this production delivers in plenty.
Solo llegue aqui gracias a Bob patiño 😆
got here cuz of The Simpsons... sigh
28:00
I'm not a huge fan of the singing (have seen better versions) but it must be quite hard being American putting on an English accent whilst singing... The Australian version is hilarious by the way. Still love HMS Pinafore.

I am an Englishman who lives in Sydney Australia. I can assure you that having been to see the performance of this opera at the Sydney Opera House, the English accents were not flash at all. I think that these folk from the mid-west USA did on the whole a remarkable job and would give the Aussies in the Australian Opera who earn bucketloads of money, a run for their money.
Captain Corcoran was great. Strangely enough the ship's name was based on my GGGGrandfather who was captain of HMS Pantaloon in the 1840s. W.S. Gilbert thought it so ridiculous that he parodied the name to Pinafore.
Anyone ended up here from Star Trek?
What in HELL was with the rap? They were barely holding it together and then they threw that in. Unfortunate. Turned it off at that point.
Oh, THAT'S why we sent England packing...aha...
Maybe I am just spolied by seeing The D'Oyly Carte Opera Company so many times doing it the correct way and as intended....Just saying..
this was close and more spirited than latter day DC
Is that version on CZcams?
Loved the music but didn't much like the cast. A bit of a disconnect with the orchestra. Didn't find the improvising very amusing either. Stopped watching 1/2 hour in.
The staging of the "Bell Trio" was awful! Much too fast in tempo and why include an extra non-singing performer?
I understand that the ability to sing must come first when choosing cast for an opera, but couldn't they also have incorporated some acting ability? (Proclaiming is not the same thing.)
That rap shit fucking killed. Thumbs down for perverting the arts.
I mean, they're really trying, but...this is why you don't have an art scene in Kansas. Minneapolis has a great scene, so maybe you can find something there?
For a professional opera company they don't sing very well.
The singing seemed fine for the most part. It just wasn't always synced up to the music very well. Perhaps they couldn't see the conductor very easily.
the singing was fine, but they need to practise more with the orchestra to get the timing right ... the acting on the other hand was pretty abominable
cobblers you must have cloth ears
Or... could have to do with the placement of the microphones; physically or in the recording path. Causes all sorts of audio issues
feh.....the cast is okay. flat though. Sir Joseph Porter is just some old guy, not funny. not charming....just some old guy. They have a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG way to go before this becomes anywhere near a professional production.
very Junior High quality.
Too bad the Brits suck at theatre! Sideshow put this on the map
Hideous production - suddenly putting a crap rap section it? Why? This is when I turned to another video.
One of the worst👎👎👎 poor casting choice and it's cringey to watch them.
