This actress, you may know as one of Bridget Jones's friends in |
|
the movie version, is also a fantastic singer. |
|
This clip from Topsy Turvy (a great film if you like Gilbert and |
|
Sullivan) |

I love Gilbert and Sullivan! Our local society did no live |
|
production last summer or this summer, obviously, though they |
|
did some online things. It's just not the same as a live show. |

I'll admit some of my favorite Gilbert and Sullivan is the |
|
Muppet Show episode with Gilda Radner. |

"Topsy-Turvy" (1999) is one of my favorite films. An incredibly |
|
rich character study and lusciously photographed 160 minutes |
|
which has never been a waste of my life, no matter how may times |
|
i watch it. In my view, it is a definition of cinematic |
|
endeavor. |

My introduction to the world of opera was via Gilbert & Sullivan |
|
at the Lyric Opera in KC at about 10 years old. One of my |
|
brothers got taken to Susannah and the Elders. I loved it and |
|
eagerly took whichever brother's tickets if they didn't want |
|
their second opera that season. |
|
My first Broadway show was Pirates of Penzance with Kevin Kline |
|
and Linda Ronstadt and some guy -- Rex Smith? |
|
I've always had a soft spot for G&S since then... |

When I was in my teens my dad took me to the Stanford student |
|
productions. Later, when I moved to Seattle, I went to the |
|
shows of the G&S group here. It's a great society, professional |
|
musicians and actors at least for the principle roles, and they |
|
do all of Gilbert and Sullivan's operettas in rotation, not just |
|
the 4 or 5 most famous ones that get good box office. For a |
|
while, my mom went with me. I took the child one year and they |
|
enjoyed it, but they do it in July when the auditorium rent is |
|
low and many years the child is working out of town, and for the |
|
last couple of years of course there haven't been live shows. |

I am jealous that you live somewhere that there's a standing G&S |
|
group! |
