I Am A Pirate King | The Pirates of Penzance | TUNE

The Pirate King (Kevin Kline) sings of how he would rather live and die a Pirate than anything else in 'Oh, Better Far to Live and Die'.
What is The Pirates of Penzance (1983) about?
Frederic (Rex Smith), who has spent his formative years as a junior pirate, plans to mark his 21st birthday by breaking free from the Pirate King (Kevin Kline) and beginning his courtship of Mabel (Linda Ronstadt). But because he was born on Feb. 29, a date that only arrives every fourth year, Frederic isn't technically 21 -- and the Pirate King is still his master. Unless something gives, Frederic will soon be on a collision course with the Pirate King's new nemesis: Mabel's father.

Me after downloading a ubisoft game illegally and getting 5 viruses on my computer:

[@ramtaylor1663]

Dude xD

[@rogerlost5851]

This is the same as the Major General tune!

[@lavaknight3682]

“You got Pirate King in my Major General!” “No, you got Major General in my Pirate King!”

[@sarahpease464]

Gilbert & Sullivan never wasted a good tune!

[@CC-re5st]

Yeah

[@irenewynnegeorge7945]

This is The musical Pirates.Same music different orchestration😊.

[@DebiTheBeeGregory]

Yeah, musicals usually follow a theme so they follow on as a musical narrative…

[@head62]

My 14 year old brother sang this at his middle school concert

Luffy after getting the one piece

[@martinpatrick9915]

First central park production on the Broadway stage,and the film version.

Pirate king till the end...👁️🖤✌️

I love everything Kevin Kline is in. Fish Called Wanda. But my favorite has always been SILVERADO❤👍👍🤠🤠🤠

Did this guy find the one piece before luffy?

[@ScotGirl1314]

Love this production!!

[@agalgonzalez]

What ever happened to Kevin Kline? He was so talented!

[@Zestrayswede]

He's still kicking it, apparently. His most famous 21st century role would be voicing Calvin Fischoeder from Bob's Burgers.

[@heathery1]

He plays Maurice in Beauty and The Beast live action!

[@I05-e4s]

The choreo of this scene is brilliant

[@elianne4753]

I can see Broadway trying to bring back this production with a more modern spin

[@agalgonzalez]

Don't modernize this or make it woke!

[@wjsproductions1784]

@aga I think they just meant setting it in modern times. They didn’t saying anything about making it “woke” (which, btw, wouldn’t necessarily be a bad thing if it did. Why deny minority actors a chance to put Gilbert & Sullivan on their resume?)

[@acciesfan8]

​@wjsproductions1784 tbh pirates doesn't need adaptation, whereas the Mkkadp on the other hand... for modern audiences that's gonna need work

[@anastasiosgkotzamanis5277]

They did it and good in Australia. The setting is the same, the costumes borrowed their look from Pirates of the Caribbean. Anthony Warlow is the pirate king, i suggest you look it up on youtube!

[@BookshelfQBattler]

"I am the Pirate Queen! To fight the patriarchy is a wonderful thing!"

[@58christiansful]

Wonderful! The panache and the comedy!

[@martinpatrick9915]

From the film version of the central park production.

Super!!! 😂😂😂👏👏👏

Luffy needs to sing this

[@Pashasmom1]

There is a fantastic video of Tim Curry singing this. It was a stage production, not a movie.

[@mightisright]

Topsy turvy. Ha ha.

[@drixg555]

Yes. Luffy would be a different kind of Pirate King given his demeanor and insane powers.

[@ThePorpoisepower]

Just noticed the Pirate King was hanging onto the figurehead's boob at the end just before he fell in.

[@TwilightingAngel]

I never saw the musical of this would love to see this

[@lynrandazzo6437]

This is TERRIBLE. Tim Curry did it MUCH better.

[@Pashasmom1]

Tim Curry makes everything better. Even crummy movies are better if he is in them. Love him to pieces!

[@mrchdant]

great actor but butchered gilbert and sullivan!!!!

[@ARCtheCartoonMaster]

Agreed. I love Kevin Kline, but for this opera's Richard Temple/Donald Adams role, I'd have pictured someone like Brian Blessed in the part. Also, let's just say there's a reason Phoebus doesn't sing in _The Hunchback of Notre Dame._

[@weemissile]

More like made an extremely boring opera entertaining for once.

[@Strobemorsel]

…then why did he win the Tony for playing this part?

[@GentlemanGaGa29]

Boooo Ted Hamilton sang it much better

[@rp3804]

Tim Curry also sang it better.
