With Cat-Like Tread | The Pirates of Penzance | TUNE

[@laceyroo5992]

For someone who doesn't want to be a pirate, or apart of this mission, Frederic is incredibly dedicated to this dance number. 😂

[@paul16451]

Heh...maybe thats the point, he's trying to make the pirates critically fail their silent sneak. Of course, the general is so deaf to the sound that the tactic didn't work lol.

[@PikachuLittle]

Professionals have standards. You don’t disrupt the musical number

[@katherineberger6329]

COMMIT TO THE BIT.

[@devinspencer1678]

He will always do his duty

[@Legacysong2012]

Duty first and foremost

[@Sharpe1502]

Kevin Kline was a beast in his prime. His knees probably hate him now though.

[@finnbuckley628]

He passed away of AIDS about 40 years ago. He was a wonderful actor though and it’s a shame he isn’t alive today

[@Naeddyr]

@@finnbuckley628 Kevin Kline is still alive. You're probably thinking of someone else.

[@magenta-rosepark4965]

I was thinking the same. I was thinking no way he would be able to do this now by dragging his knees, even with boots on. lol

[@ktwashere5637]

he's taking it easy compared to Jon English who did the epic Aussie version of this show for quite a few years including a dive roll at the end.

[@ravenshrike]

The only reason for it I can think of is during number rehearsals he and Smith got into it with who could go deeper into the pose. Either that or Smith had some sort of leg injury to his right leg since he's comfortable with going all the way to the ground with his left.

[@Bigl00z]

When the party rolls a 1 in Stealth, but the bad guys rolled 1 on perception

[@Flession]

More like the party rolled a nat 20 on stealth and are rubbing it in.

[@devinspencer1678]

1 in stealth, but nat 20 in performance

[@NanCRow]

OMG!! Trying to not laugh my freakin' head off since I'm at work, but *Bravo* to the best laugh I've had in weeks. (Doesn't help that I've been re-reading Order Of The Stick)

[@susanphoen1x50]

Their bard is definitely hitting all nat 20s

[@TrashJack3000]

When the party is all Bards, and they picked up the "Pass Without Trace" spell via their "Magical Secrets" class feature to sing and dance their way into flawless stealth.

[@jennywc]

I'm not saying Kevin Kline chewed up EVERY scene he was in...he unhinged his jaw, swallowed the scene whole, and let the rest of us watch as he digested. That being said, I've watched this clip hundreds of times, and it always brings a smile to my face.

[@jacobabel2131]

There was a famous NYT review of the original of TPoP that said something to the effect of "it would be impossible for even a confirmed misanthrope to refrain from merriment" while watching

[@mmcomo3116]

😂

[@GeeNoniGee]

I copped a visual of that when he sang the word "crowbar".

[@RogueShadows]

I don’t get it. The set design is nice, but why did you upload a video that doesn’t have anyone in it? And it was so quiet I think I could distinctly hear a fly’s footfall.

[@TFZ.]

Have you tried restarting your device? Usually has a 1/20 chance of at LEAST being able to hear something other than flies walking around... (😂)

[@Barquevious_Jackson]

I'm 60% sure there is a single cop hiding in the trees. Blink and you miss it detail.

[@rogercotton5134]

Kevin Kline was 50% Athlete, 50% Dancer, 100% Performer.

[@itzakpoelzig330]

A certain percentage singer too.

[@nataliee.parker2873]

Gotta love classic theater for taking a relatively simple joke and making a big ol' production number outta it!!!

[@porsche911sbs]

this song always cracks me up, I'm never not amused by it... pretty cool something written 145 years ago is still hilarious

[@joelluna3386]

Esa cancionsita ya empieza a gustarme

[@marymccann3500]

I can barely hear the music or see the actors, I think they're being too stealthy. Maybe throw in a cannon so I know where they are?

[@kse3]

A party of multiclass pirate/bards nailing every stealth check by repeatedly giving each other inspiration

[@RogueShadows]

Unironically in 5e I wish that instead of getting Expertise, bards instead got an ability that let them make a Charisma (Performance) check in place of a normal check for some skills they choose. Meaning yes, choose Stealth and it means they instead of rolling Dex (Stealth), you roll Cha (Performance).

[@greenrandall143]

@@RogueShadowsthat wound get op

[@RogueShadows]

@@greenrandall143 I mean it's still dependent on you rolling well for Cha (Performance). It's just meant to be an alternative to them getting Expertise, which I'd rather see as a Rogue-class exclusive ability, or else have a feat tax.

[@greenrandall143]

@@RogueShadows yeah but it is there best ability. Imagine if a barbarian could do that with strength. I don’t know to much about dnd so I could be misunderstanding it or getting some stuff worng. If you run it that way and works for you then that is great, I just think form my limited perspective that can be a bit overpowered

[@baldguy42]

As a performer, I can tell you, this number... if done right... will get an ovation every time. If it is done like this here... it should bring the house down. I agree... Kline was a beast in his day. Happy TLAP Day ya pestilent pollywogs!

[@gretschplaya]

We just got done doing Pirates of Penzance and I loved this number. We had the police in the house waiting or us, it was a good time.

[@JoshFreilich]

That’s not even the half of it! If your audience is particularly rowdy, expect to do the last part again. And again. And again. And again. AND. A. GAIN.

[@2chaskell]

u should watch the jon english version, they are made to reprise the last bit like 4 times

[@TrashJack3000]

Those are some impressive pipes, for people who are allegedly trying to be unseen and unheard.

[@tjwash2]

I shouldn’t have watched this again, but I can’t resist. This song will be in my head for days, as always.

[@Stickdeep]

This comedy is coming up on a 150 years !!! writing jokes that will still be funny to this day is absolutely incredible and stands to the genius that were Gilbert and Sullivan !!!

[@Usedw0tm8]

Ive always been so distracted by Kevin Kline jumping around that I never noticed Rex Smith jumping over his sword at 2:30

[@ElleCee62978]

If you check out the Broadway version with Kevin Kline and Rex Smith, RS pulls some straight out of Fosse moves.

[@FletchBrendanGood]

top 3 kinds of comments on thie video: 1. references to D&D and making a die roll for stealth 2. facetious jokes about the video being silent and of an empty set, because the pirates are supposed to be stealthy somehow while singing and dancing 3. "The Opera is Tomorrow" (sometimes in Spanish) number of times Rex Smith is mentioned by name: one (not counting this comment)

[@autobotjedi3457]

Yes! A friend and I have been saying that for years!!! 😆😆😆😆

[@matthewkreps3352]

In a musical, songs are sung to the audience. All characters not in the song can't hear it. So to be stealthy, sing a song about how stealthy you are and how no one can hear you. SIng extra loud so no one can hear you. Accompany yourself with trumpets.

[@Ellebeeby]

Why’d you upload a totally silent video?

[@glambertgurl1117]

Um, it's not silent? I can hear it totally fine. Maybe it was a glitch?

[@duckbilledplatyhate]

Did anyone else notice that Kevin Kline discarded his bandana at 2.22? I'm guessing it's because he feared it could come down over his face when doing the ensuing cossack squats. I absolutely love this clip and Kline is immense.

[@Philbert-s2c]

With Kevin Kline, stealth is not an option.

[@TheMightyMcClaw]

This is what happens when you use bardic inspiration on a stealth roll.

[@lqtmn]

I believe this number killed maximalism. There was no up to go from here, so minamilism was the only option. "Skeletonic Key?" f'real?

[@lqtmn]

There's a full tonic resolution before the key change ffs.
