Before I forget: Happy Birthday to newly published author jethrien! Congrats and all the best to you on your natal day!


(But reckoning by my natal day, yes reckoning by my natal day...I am a little lad of five! Sorry, saw Pirates of Penzance again recently, so it's still in my head.)

Ooooh, thank you! I saw Pinafore and Mikado when Cornell put them on and I was still in elementary school, and the movies of Princess Ida and the Pirates of Penzance. I'd see any of them.

The one I'm saddest about missing is Trial By Jury, just because the plot synopsis in the PlayBill was hi-larious. It was only on the one night, alas, but all the others except Princess Ida will be on in June.

I vaguely remember Trial by Jury being surprisingly short.

Yeah, they'd only had it for one night and it was already coupled with a sort-of greatest hits of G&S for the second act.

[jethrien.livejournal.com]

It was actually the first G&S show I saw.

I'd never heard of it, but I read the synopsis and I was sorry we'd missed it. It sounded like a sitcom before there WERE sitcoms.

And I realized that that is why G&S are still relevant. Their humor isn't dated, it's timeless. Oh, the music helps, too, but the humor is totally there for anyone.
