[@ferretman6790]

I love the fact she refers to the Pirates as “Associates” “The Associates are coming!” “The Associates stole my Ship” “The Associates kidnapped my Brother”

[@ElkSkin]

It's because frederic was previously under employment of the pirate chief, making them his associates.

[@GideonF64.9]

Despite the poor video quality you can tell this is some of the best choreography that ever saw the light of day. Fucking phenomenal.

[@KHearse87]

My high school did Pirates of Penzance 2 years ago, I was a policeman. I don't think I've ever had more fun in a role.

[@charlesajones77]

When I read this, my first thought was "There's a sequel to Pirates of Penzance?"

[@Odonta7]

Totally brilliant!

[@angelwonyoungie]

This one also brings back so many memories, this was also so fun to perform

[@Plawranc]

When the foeman bares his steel

[@googleisgay3289]

Tony Azito is amazing. I could watch him reprise this role forever until Sunday. In fact, I have. I continue to do. I really can't believe how good he is at this what-would-be a forgettable role in a forgettable parlor opera. I really can't believe they killed him. Jesus, what a shit-show cosmos I wound up in. In my cosmos, though, Tony Azito gets to play this role, and any other role he prefers, now until the ending of the world.

[@GalazanCat]

I already remembered: when I was a lad (XD) I watched a catalan opereta Pirates. But until today I hadn't realized that was a catalan version of Pirates of Penzance!

[@bologna4feet]

Oh, Tony Azito--if only we were the same age and you still alive and, you know, into girls. What could've been...

[@archery411]

We're doing Pirates of Penzance at our school right now, and I'm a police officer, and I gotta sing this song along with one other person... it's gonna be so much fun! xD

[@unpampered]

Anyone detect a hint of Groucho Marx as Captain Spalding in Azito's dance?

[@misscanadarain]

I want to go to England soooooo badly

[@CwCaufman]

well thats upsetting they didnt do the second verse

[@joshuaplotkin8826]

Buffoons in blue

[@Violins1345]

I BET

[@Bigmikeisnow]

By Mabel do you mean Linda Ronstadt? And if your are playing Jessica in the New Moon and Eclipse movies starting Kristen Stewart. Then that means you are Anna Kendrick. Who is not at all related to Linda Ronstadt. Hmmm...

[@michaelturyn4558]

Very nice; I'm sorry not to hear them do the second verse of "When a Felon's Not Engaged in His Employment".

[@verdew8181]

They leave out the 1st part of the cops' song "Though in body and in mind...we are timidly inclined"

[@falco830]

Reminds me of America’s police force...

[@lardmonk]

sorry, i was just amused

[@mktegaki_e]

Does anyone else think that the policemen (especially their leader) remind them of Slenderman? D8

[@Ronariverah]

Don't know.

[@MrObjectionable]

This is why the London riots didn't go well. :L

[@ProdigyStepper]

@andrielisilien You werent far off.

[@TheZacula]

@jtbell04 Worst AND best policeman. You wouldn't want them to guard something, but we could do with some of these guys going about cities.

[@KhiavDim]

[@liamdysoco4832]

The way the ship just noisily crashes through the trees always gets me, especially considering the next number

[@wallywest9257]

Girlfriend: "He's probably out there cheating and lying. Me & the boys: 3:55

[@ChiDavid1]

The late, rubber-limbed Tony Azito (as the Sergeant) is brilliant!

[@stephenwoehr6500]

Reminds me of John Cleese.

[@ThePorpoisepower]

If they remake this in 2020... not saying they should... but IF they did.... Sacha Baron Coen would be perfect as the Sergeant.

[@adventureswithaurora]

Oh my goodness! I love that idea. 🤣

[@m.rodriguez9732]

Thank you for posting this. Tony Azito (and the whole "police force") are just fantastic in this movie. Tony must've been good to get the contract he did before and after in the Broadway production. I thoroughly enjoyed his performance.

[@meilinchan7314]

It's Keystone Kops meets the Ministry of Silly Walks.

[@Falconater517]

He reminds me of Waluigi...

[@sqreaky2267]

i can really notice that now XD

[@douglaslundin4506]

Someone needs to do an sfm of Waluigi doing this dance!

[@SaffronicSaffron]

Me to

[@gabrieltassoni5549]

A policeman’s lot is not a happy WWWAAAAAANE

[@bushhead44]

Taranta-WA

[@Rylosalex]

I wish the whole entrance song of the police force had been longer Love the Tarantara tarantara and love the way how some of the police are running out of breath for holding that "Hum" too long "But we should have thought of that before we joined the force" Makes me smile every time

[@MD-vs9ff]

Rylosalex A lot of songs were cut for this movie, and that was one of them. There's a couple of extra lines that go before "When the danger's near...". Look for the soundtrack for the theater version, it has more songs and longer veraions of the songs.

[@Rylosalex]

Yeah, yeah I found the theater soundtrack at the library got it and listened to it. Was totally surprised when I heard those extra lines.

[@SaffronicSaffron]

I love how the Pirates, just sort of crash into the tree. it's so hilarious.

[@BroadwayDreamchild]

Probably the best character actor I have ever seen IN MY LIFE. R.I.P. Tony. We love you!!!! :') Watching this always makes me cry, because he probably would be a huge star now if he were still living. Every person I know who's seen POP has fallen in love with his singing and acting.

[@flamingcartman312]

Tony Azito couldn't have done it more wonderfully.

[@orangutansoda]

WHAT they tap dance?! Im jealous our production has a severe lack of tap

[@harrietamidala1691]

The dancing policemen remind of the dancing chimney sweeps from Mary Poppins.

[@ilu77777777]

those policeman guys are awsome they remind me ( by their expressions ) of charlie chaplin

[@dianaprobst3157]

"Quiet down there!" 😂

[@jnooteb1]

They wrote them as political farce. After EVERYTHING, The Major General Sings this: "I pray your pardon, ex- Pirate King. Peers will be peers, and youth will have its fling. Enjoy your rank and legislative duties. And take my daughters- all of whom are beauties!"

[@Mariathinking]

That high note 👌👌👌👌

[@ivanrorick]

Yeah, that was really impressive.

[@Seal00754]

God bless G&S. Times go by, but they still hit the nail on the head.

[@baenshide]

I'm uncertain Gilbert and Sullivan intended a sober drama when they wrote the script.

[@Foxpawed]

3:47 and/or press 7 for the part you're most likely here for.

[@FireofSekhmet]

My school performed "Pirates of Penzance" back in March. Not too many guys tried out, and someone decided that masculinity was more important to the pirate chorus, so the policemen were all women. Somehow it worked. :P

[@orandulum]

I can't stop watching his limbs, they are so mesmerizing!

[@q.e.d.9112]

Back in 1956 I was a 12 year old choirboy. I was one of the sisters in my Boy’s boarding school production of The Pirates of Penzance. The following year I was down for one of the fairies in Iolanthe, but my voice broke during rehearsals so I was told to just mime. I quite enjoyed the drag and the make up, but this was the fifties and boys couldn’t admit to such things after about age 7.

[@andrewhawkins8616]

I wish people still wrote music of this caliber.

[@Atreus21]

I wish this happened when I called the cops.

[@Sueb18631]

There's also a live version of this out there that was filmed in Central Park in 1980 with the same cast that's pretty awesome.

[@jasonjoyce7835]

Not entirely. I actually preferred the original sisters. Wasn’t a huge fan of Angela Lansbury being cast as Ruth, either. But yes, the original 1980 summer theater in the park production’s overwhelming success is what spurred Universal to produce the film.

[@Martin-es8mb]

​@@jasonjoyce7835all the cast reprised their roles.

[@devifitz5195]

When choir kids join the force.

[@selenalee5113]

This brings back memories when I was in my high school musical 😂 I was one of the cops

[@Martin-es8mb]

Did you play the Sargent?

[@andrielisilien]

As a kid I thought Tony was luigi :D

[@GeneraIKurt]

The policemen gaspg for air while humming is awesome xD

[@TheZacula]

@WisemanSam599 One of the loudest songs in the production is called 'With Cat-Like Tread', and the Pirates are the least successful in the entire world. The entire play is silly satire, and so I don't see why it should be serious. True, pretending to be serious would be funny, but I like this as well if not better.

[@LGriff-fv6dr]

I love the way that at 0:31 we can see the expression on Tony's face without actually seeing it, brilliant acting, real shame we lost him so early.

[@Rylosalex]

I just watched this with my brother tonight and I thought "Wow! This is fantastic!!" I loved the footwork, the melody of the song and the performers I love this whole scene especially the part where they come marching into the courtyard.

[@Space-O-2001]

Anyone watch the police dance and think of John Cleese?

[@irmese06]

and the Marx Brothers! If you like this watch "Duck Soup"! kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqTaap2PisSlgKs

[@ChiDavid1]

It's very stylized. Azito was deservedly nominated for a Tony Award for the show.

[@Martin-es8mb]

Rip Tony Azito 😢😢😢

[@MissBenford]

Cannot WAIT to start choreographing this for my high school

[@tobiasrichardson6379]

That fucking voice is ICONIC

[@artistjhan]

Live action cartoon!

[@nbenefiel]

When I was a kid D’Oyle Carte would come to Detroit every summer and my dad would take me? My dad was a huge G& S fan.

[@laurag5244]

This is Linda Ronstadt as Mabel -- expanding genres (she sang pop-folk-rock and wonderfully!)

[@jasonjoyce7835]

She trained for weeks when she was cast in the Delacourt theater production. For a power ballad singer, she turned in a respectable performance as a coloratura.

[@titanuranus3095]

Woah, I fully missed that it was she! What great acting.

[@irmese06]

22 people don't get what Tarantera means

[@bigal1292]

[@nerdhound5891]

1 person considers knowledge as a private thing it seems.

[@JosephDutra]

I love this video, but I would like to know what Tarantera means.

[@ronskelton94]

Its the sound a trumpet makes - explained in previous song - "When the Foeman Bares His Steel"

[@augustus4832]

Tony Azito looks a way better with that mustache that in the original musical.

[@Martin-es8mb]

Rip Tony Azito 😢😢😢

[@TheFingerbuns]

Man, I love this version of the song.

[@jimraw1]

The Pirate Movie - it came out in 1982 starring Kristy McNichol and Christopher Atkins. Its HORRIBLE -

[@seangallagher5695]

Teren tera teren tera gahhh that never will get out of my head

[@EvilA110]

congratulations, that`s a fun role. espescially if you dance during When The Foeman Bares His Steel. The theater group I did this with told the Sarge to just stand there while she sings that huge solo. It was very awkward for her.

[@theclarinetjooddsandends3753]

3:55 fantastic ad lib !

[@Schrodj1]

I keep watching these things over and over.

[@noonefromnowhere7945]

Derrick Chauvins first day in General pop : 3:55

[@didimagnin]

I was one of these srry policemen in our school's production...Tarantara!

[@googagirl]

But we should have thought of that before we joined the force. Best line ever!

[@navigatormother7023]

I sang in an amateur community version of The Mikado, as one of the alto chorus. It was one of those brilliant memories you keep forever... we had enough professionals to raise the standard to wonderful and the rest of us, mere chorus singers- learned and learned and learned. Five hour rehearsals left us breathless and perspiring for hours in winter. Just wonderful stuff, Gilbert and Sullivan- this is beautiful too!!

[@joshuaplotkin8826]

They stealthily ran aground.

[@BennyLlama39]

(seeing the ship run aground) A little close to the curb...

[@TheIncandescence]

Fond memories of performing in Cardiff.

[@Rawr17000]

I'm so excited to perform The Policeman's Song in solo. I am seriously enjoying it :P

[@twilightseven]

I loved these goofy policemen!!

[@pupolozano]

if you refere to the new movie from the last year??? YES i agree totally is just trash.... i just saw trailers :P but im askin for a movie from 80's :/ i just can find it :'( and yes ( i need to repeat this: pirate movie from last year SUX a lot.

[@kaiduchaine432]

Me playing Frederick knowing nothing about the character and somehow not being able to speak

[@WillScarlet16]

@cuckthefardinals It's more than light opera, it's also satire. Gilbert and Sullivan always set out to mock theater that was ridiculously self-important like the Pirate melodramas of the period. Opera, light or otherwise, falls into the trap just as much. So what do you do then? Take the parody further.

[@philipstevenson5166]

Love how Americans can do a much better job of G+S than the Brits. Perhaps because USA culture's now closer to Victorian. Needing relief from imperialism.

[@StarshadowMelody]

I'm only 17 and still Pirates of Penzance is an awesome thing.

[@516mao]

im 20 and nobody cares about our age

[@suzie106]

I have this aria on vinyl, but so different! This cannot be how G & S wrote it, but isn't it good!

[@debsnotfubar]

this version has and will always be my family's favorite soooo wonderful!!!!

[@BrokTheLoneWolf]

throwing hashtags before it was cool ###

[@ProdigyStepper]

wouldn't a police force like that just make you feel safer?

[@airanuva]

@WisemanSam599 It's better than when it was serious. The entire movie was worse when they were all very serious. This version is much more exciting.

[@robertgross578]

From Gilbert & Sullivan's "Pirates of Penzance".

[@theultimatereductionist7592]

I know I know nothing about 19th century British law or British maritime law. But, am I the only one who has found this musical perplexing that they'd send the ordinary beat cop to fight pirates rather than send the army & navy?

[@ianfinrir8724]

That's the joke

[@DarthTwilight]

I wish music and comedy were as good today as in the days of Gilbert and Sullivan.

[@MakalovestheTV]

Ha, I loved this movie version as a kid, and the tarantara number is one of my favorites from the show. Thanks for sharing!

[@JamiePa1]

Notice that Mabel has just vowed to Frederich that she will be true to him until he is 21 (about 80 years). After he leaves, she sits for a few seconds, then stands and says, "No, I am brave!" It sure didn't take her long to be tempted!

[@stutterbug014]

duude. this stuff is amaazing. he's like a rubber band!!!! ha. what's his name? anyone know?? :]]

[@josegonzalez-ii3vt]

We cant neither confirm nor deny than the police officer who killed george floyd sang and dance afterwards
