THE GRAND POOBAH
bk:
Well, you've read the notes, you know what Poobah spelled backwards is, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they are, of course, the Grand Moobah.
bk:
And the word of the day is: HIRSUTE!
DakotaCelt:
Just wanted to say hello before I became a Wussburger and settled in front of the telly...
Have a pleasant evening and I may stop by in the morning...

To paraphrase missing DR Jay - Some of us were born without the opera gene.
I tried attending a couple of seasons and saw a few of the usual suspects byt Puccini and Verdi. I just did not get involved - glorious melodies though.
The lines bewteen the forms of musical theatre are always blurred for me.
I've enjoyed some G & S but have never really liked "The Mikado". "Patience" is very funny and I enjoy Pirates and Pinafore.
I like "The Merry Widow" and "Orpheus In the Underworld". I also enjoy the music of the "Student Prince", "Bitter Sweet" and the Novello Operettas.
For me "Kismet" belongs there too; a favourite of mine.
Michael:
I guess people of our generation don't know from operettas except for G & S shows. So I have to say that of their shows that I have seen I enjoyed The Mikado (Doyle Carte Production), HMS Pinafore (Local Production) and The Pirates of Penzance (NY Shakespeare Company) and I would like to forget I ever saw the Pirate Movie.
