When the Foeman Bares His Steel | The Pirates of Penzance | TUNE

Frederic has organised for the local police force to stand with him against the Pirates of Penzance.
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.

That whole body choreography of those policemen. It's enchanting

a fascinating insight into what luigi would've sounded like in a light opera

This is true now I cannot unread and think this lmao

Tony Azito is amazing. I'm sad he didn't get better exposure beyond this. What a talent!

[@bandicootcollector]

I, myself, have been performing physical comedy for almost a decade and...It blows me away. Control, flexibility, speed, timing. There's one part where he almost falls as he goes to 'kneel' down, but other than that it's a flawless performance. I heard he had hyperextension, which allowed him to spin his elbows like that!

[@douglasburnside]

This might well be the single best performance of any single scene in Pirates of Penzance that any theater group ever did, showcased by Tony Azito and Linda Ronstadt. The choreography and camerawork was amazing, and the way the daughters and the pirates sang counterpoint near the end sent chills down my back.

[@user-zq4zi3dy3c]

This is movie.

[@user-zq4zi3dy3c]

I love this movie. It is a perfect version of Pirates of Penzance I have ever heard. Thank you!!!

Love this performance - watch it over & over!

[@debby8428]

@@user-zq4zi3dy3c I saw this in Central Park. Tony is amazing! My dad was NYPD and watched the show many times behind the scenes. He said Tony would stretch for hours and that he was very talented.

[@lavenderspectre103]

Tony Azito dances like he is made of rubber. He was before my generation but i have not seen anyone dance with such bounce and fluidity. Great scene too

[@DavidChin-bt5ov]

This is my favorite version of the Pirates of Penzance. I love the disconnect between the Cornish daughters and the well intentioned but cowardly Keystone-cop like constables.

[@sudanemamimikiki1527]

I don't think they are cowardly so much as just being a bunch of guys expected to take on a gaggle of criminals armed with cannons, pistols and swords while only themselves being armed with batons...

[@unpampered]

​@@sudanemamimikiki1527 nothing much has changed in British policing then 😂

During With Cat Like Tread, Kevin Kline also almost ate it. At the end of the song, after the kicks.

[@debby8428]

me too! my dad was NYPD and brought my sister and I back stage. He used to sing along with the chorus behind the stage!

One of our favorite numbers from this film. Masterful, and superbly funny.

I've only JUST noticed that the Police are wearing SPATS on their boots! Wow, Penzance Constabulary pays it's Officers well if they can afford spats!

[@Grymbaldknight]

I mean, their shoes are part of their uniform. The government pays for their uniform, surely.

[@martinpatrick9915]

This is the movie verison of the central park production all of the stars reprised their roles from the central park production.

[@davidhampshire8632]

...except they brought in Dame Angela Lansbury for the film.

[@tanngrisnr5076]

I think of any musical/opera I've seen put to film this movie has the best I've ever seen and even if this was the only scene that had any I'd still rate it as high.

[@WilliamJames48]

I've seen this like 1000 times. No it doesn't get old. More important now than ever.

If you mean the Lead Policeman, I'd like to point out you used the wrong rank, he's a Sergeant, not a Captain which, in Britain, is a MILITARY rank, NOT a Police one.

While everyone in this production is extraordinarily talented, I greatly prefer this played straight as an operetta without all the goofiness. I find it far funnier that way, but that's just my opinion.

I can do that with my head.

I've tried so if you can actually do that props to you
