If you're here because of the "The Mikado" episode from the show Millennium, you're cool af. This Is Who We Are.

Idk why it’s taken me so long to look up the actual songs in family guy they are all great

And here I thought Family Guy did something original.

If you haven't seen the Muppets version of this, you haven't seen it the way it's meant to be done!😂

I didn't know Family Guy covered from this 😆😆 what a work of art🎨, such a shame the Snowflake Season ❄️ Brainwashed everyone into thinking Family Guy causes psychological nerve damage to the 🧠, along with *South Park, 🤖🍗, Crank Yankers, Adult Swim, GTA, MTV's Jackass, Beavis and Butthead, Bloodhound Gang, Korn, System of a Down, Placebo, Marylin Manson, Slim Shady, 50 Cent, Kayne West, Ludacris, Jay-Z, Ixibhit, Afroman, D12*

Well, the verdict is in. Of the many renditions of "Three Little Maids" I've watched on You Tube, this version is indeed the best!

What a delight! I have listened to the London audio recording for years and never thought I'd actually get to see some of those performers in a filmed D'Oyly Carte production, such as John Reed, Kenneth Sandiford, Valerie Masterson, and Pauline Wales. (The entire cast was wonderful.) I watched it while following along in my annotated libretto (highly recommended to catch all of the clever humor). It was interesting to see where they cut a few of the longer and slower songs short, presumably to reduce the overall runtime (fine with me). Thank you so much for posting this. I will watch it again and again. Do you know if there are similar films of any other D'Oyly Carte productions?

Jim Cornette sent me here 😂

And now... I am free to sing all the Gilbert and Sullivan I damn well please!

John Reed WAS the quintessential G&S baritone - splendid! I saw a production of this in Houston in the mid '80s . . . all VE-RY Modern and Up-to-Date . . . by the English National Opera! The Great Spaghetti God only knows why, but they saw fit to give Katisha an airplane pilot, who mooned (would the Brits say "swanned"?) about on stage . . . and when at the end She was handed over to Koko, the pilot "plunged himself into the billowy wave . . ." - and not a moment too soon, IMHO!!

Just beautiful!!

Absolutely stunning !!!❤❤❤

Pretty, pretty, prettyyy good...

I played Poo Bah in 7th grade.

KoKo. Has there ever been a more selfless character in all literary history? Gives up his engagement to Yum Yum so Yum Yum and Nanki Poo can be happy, then saves Nanki Poo from either forced marriage or execution for denying Katisha by convincing her to marry him with a sad song about a suicidal bird.

So basically KoKo gave up his engagement to Yum Yum so Yum Yum and Nanki Poo could be happy, then saved Nanki Poo from having to marry or face execution for not marrying Katisha by convincing her to marry him through a sad song about a suicidal bird. Truly, there has never been a more selfless mfer in all of literature than KoKo.

Koko was selfless af. He gave up yum yum and took katisha for the team.

My younger brother in high school senior year, was Nanki Po.

@ chriswright4252 I met Christene Palmer in 1969 when she was appearing at the Alexandra Birmingham She and John Reed visited the Cinemas I was Assistant Manager. at the end I invited them into the Office where I had a copy of "The Savoyard" by chance and asked them to sign it for me. In 1936 The Theatre my family had an interest in closed for demolition the Very last show was "The Mikado" The new cinema was called "The Savoy" Many years later I reopened a Cinema with Stage facilities and named it "The Savoy" and the first show was a G&S programme.

What does it mean “children who are up in dates and floor you with them flat?” I don’t get the Victorian lingo

I guess Gilbert and Sullivan suffered from pain in the ass autograph hounds in their day?

And then Larry David bought the rights and set it as the background music to all of his hijinx

I wonder if they could ever produce a modern update with actual Japanese actors. This is a tough one because even though it is set in Japan, it's really a thinly veiled lampoon of Victorian Britain. So Japanese people don't want to be played by white people in makeup but British people see it as their story so IDK.

The late Stephen Sondheim owed a great debt to Gilbert and Sullivan. Their patter songs, with amazingly intricate rhymes and ratt a tatt pace, requiring singers to be on top of their game every moment, for every syllable?? He probably watched and listened to these. They are an utter joy, of course, but a real homage to that masterly art of singing and reciting...

My Mum took me to my very first G&S production. I was lucky enough for it to be The Mikado with John Reed playing Koko, I think the last time before he retired from performing. Even allowing for looking back with rose-tinted specs, I've never seen a better Koko and I don't think I ever will.

Magnifique! ❤️😍

I saw this production, and it was so great. Wonderful casting and decor. This is my favorite G&S Operetta.

Richard McMillan was the quintessential Pooh-bah played less than 20 years later in Stratford. What comedic gravitas he had. Seeing him live as Scar in Lion King and in his one-man play "Through The Eyes", he showed skill and grace I have yet to see matched.

I remember this music from suit life of zack and cody on Disney channel the episode from japanese convencion at the tipton hotel

They tried to get me in the Mikado in high school….St Joseph’s …..not likely .

I came here cause a new manhua said they felt like the protagonist with this song on

We practice for months songs from the Mikado and had a school concert in 1991. We painted our faces white with zinc and wore yukata. It was entirely culturally inaccurate but good fun to the parents. I don't have any photos of the event, I wonder if I could find images from the school archive.

An infinite clap to the hero who corrected the time-lag. A thousand thanks!

Not a single Japanese actor was casted

I always thought Seth MacFarlane made up the list song. He just loves musicals does he

Wonderful recording of G&S' greatest piece (in my view). John Reed at his best... I do wonder why the overture was so abbreviated and why in Nanki-Poo's "A wandering minstrel I" song they decided to omit the last sea shanty section - "And if you call for a song of the sea" etc. Anyone know why?

全然日本っぽく無い 好きになれない😐

The BRILLIANCE OF THE ENGLISH & GILBERT & SULLIVAN : THANK YOU GENTLEMEN FOR THE HONOUR OF WATCHING AND LISTENING TO WHAT THEY CREATED FOR HUMANITY:

Wow what a great song, hopefully my coworker who's named after a dog breed at a radio station won't prank me by making me sing this song live. If you don't get this reference you clearly haven't watched Frasier S3.

This would not be socially acceptable or politically correct today. If it were a book they would burn it.. that’s where we are now in 2024 and insane world. And the inmates are running the asylum..

Am I the only one here because of the Zodiac Killer?

Why is ate the Mormons recruiting Black people into their organisation?

The effects of LSD?

Nanki-Poo by philip potter is so good，where shall I find another?

Me and the girls on spring break

🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

I hate to admit it but Family Guy brought me here.

This play was more accurate now than it may ever be.

My step father had just joined the D.C. when this was filmed. He is one of the Mikados guards. He went on to become principle bass for a very short time. I had the great pleasure of watching him as the Pirate King, but never as the Mikado himself. This is my very favourite operetta. As a child I sat on lots of these lovely ladies knees. I could not understand the Christine Palmer had any other name than Katisha. She was quite lovely about being called it by me.
