let's vary piracy with a little burglary!

I went down to the Laurel Playhouse with Amy this evening to see [livejournal.com profile] toothlesshag and [livejournal.com profile] verdatum perform in one of my all-time favorite musical The Pirates of Penzance. It was really fun to see live and in such a small setting. But now I want to watch the movie and for some strange reason it is NOT AVAILABLE on DVD. My parents have a copy, the one I watched over and over as a child...but it is on BETA! My guess, that probably is unwatchable (not even sure if the beta player is still alive).

So now I am chatting with [livejournal.com profile] verdatum and scouring YouTube for clips to get my fix. I've found a mix of film clips and clips from a live DVD that is out. I've posted a few of my favorite songs under the cut (warning: quality is about as good as a 25 year old Beta recording would be):



Modern Major General - such a great song, especially if you can pull it off at full speed like this:



Even though [livejournal.com profile] verdatum says he can't stand the police sgt. in the play, this routine is classic:



My FAVORITE song from the musical. The pirates being "quiet" and sneaky -- "With Cat Like Tread" (I had such a crush on Frederic and the Pirate King...)
