You have brilliant taste.

Now let me ask you something - how do feel about The Mikado? I feel like a horrifically bad G+S fan for not really liking it that much, but still faffing all over Pirates and Pinafore. Still, it seems like I'm not alone.

(my fave is O False One, You Have Deceived Me, btw)

Re: OP

I really have yet to see the Mikado because it just feels a little racist, but reading about it now makes me think otherwise since it's *actually* supposed to be about British politics while using Japanese culture as the vehicle for satire. So for right now, I have a pretty neutral opinion toward it. My knowledge of G&S is still incredibly lacking, but I'm hoping to fix this where possible.

The thing about so many G+S's is that they're not even close to being about what they appear to be, like Pirates, but I'm with you re: the racism thing. I understand it being a different time, but watching it now is honestly a little cringeworthy.

Fix it, and fix it hard. G+S is the best fucking thing ever <3

You should watch Topsy Turvy (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0151568/) sometime.

Me, I like the Mikado for what it is, which is silly.

(And YAY, Gilbert and Sullivan secret!)

EEEEEE I just acquired this movie, and am watching it. SOON.

Random anon chiming in with Mikado hate! I don't like the show to begin with, but I can't stand how it's one of the only ones that anyone seems to know. Sure, it's somewhat problematic, largely because it's a product of its time (though it's not nearly as bad as Princess Ida's sexism!), but what kills me is that nobody seems to have any problem with essentially performing it in yellowface. Every production I've ever seen goes way overboard with "slanty" eye makeup, and everyone ends up looking like Mickey Rooney in Breakfast at Tiffany's. UGH.

I'm a diehard fan of Iolanthe, myself. And Yeomen. And Ruddigore!

OMG

RUDDIGORE. <3 So definitely one of my favorites. I grew up hearing my dad's crazy stories from when he was in it, so yeah. XD

Re: OMG

(Anonymous) 2011-03-20 03:53 am (UTC)(link)
Ruddigore! I loved Ruddigore more than HMS Pinafore and Pirates too!

(Patience is my favorite, but that, I think, is because it was the first one I saw and was truly a brilliant production done by college students on a low budget. It was something like eight years ago, but I remember it with such fondness!)

I used to watch one new G&S play every year. :( But I broke the habit last year. I feel sad.

Oh, but I love Princess Ida. But then, I first met it in a student production that may have performed it in a way that subverted much of the sexism, so now I always see it through that lens. But it has gorgeous songs, and everyone except Ida and Hildebrand is shown as idiotic, and those two are arrogant, so I don't know that you can take any of the sexist views expressed as being endorsed by the show.

Plus, we are shown that the only men Ida was allowed to talk to growing up are everything she believes men to be, hence her view of men. And (at least in our production) the ending (while having the trappings of the typical comedy ending) is really a tragic betrayal of Ida by everyone she counted on, in which the girls at her school are shown to be all words and no stomach for action, while her brothers (who she despises for their violence and stupidity) nearly die defending her. She is clearly forced into the marriage, and yet everyone rejoices as if it is romantic. I kind of love that: it's like a play on G&S's own conventions.

My favorite story about the Mikado is that it was shut down temporarily when a Japanese ambassador came to England... who was disappointed, as he had wanted to see it. I mean, it does kind of make me cringe. But it's still obnoxiously catchy and silly, so.
