When I saw this locally years ago they made a reference to Amtrak instead. I love how this song is rewritten for its venue. :)

Kudos on the vid upload. I think the rail joke is spot on, the limp handshake crack can only be understood by real men so I suppose it's a minority joke..

by far the best G&S production I've ever seen- but I should expect no less from D'oyly Carte.

This is a most excellent production together with some very competent and professional performers.

I just love how suddenly he just opens his enormous costume like a door and walks out of it to reveal his tiny self, it's just the funniest and cleverest portrayal of the lord high executioner!!!

No kidding, that Eurovision song's about as bad — maybe even worse — than the Canadian national anthem!

In my opinion, one of Macfarlane's redeeming qualities is his taste for G&S.

I heard the former was directed toward "minstrel" performers

"dresses like a Guy" (notice the capitalization) is a reference to Guy Fawkes, not being a transvestite.

Must correct myself. Martyn Green was in the Lee Marvin film production -- not the televised one 13 years previous.Sorry.

billh891:Actually it was an elevator (lift) accident in New York City (1959) that he incurred his leg amputation. But he still performed thereafter.He has a small part in The Iceman Cometh -- a televised production that not only includes Green, but an early Robert Redford.BTW,

The line, "and that singular anomaly, the extra lyricist", does give it away a bit. (I believe for this production the extra lyricist was Kit Hesketh-Harvey of cabaret act "Kit and the Widow"

Just great!! I wish that more c ompanies did not update material---though one does have to remove some racist comments. That said, just like American Folk Music one can listen to it as long as one puts into the perspective of its time. My favorite Doyly Carte patter song performer was Martyn Green--sadly badly hurt in a garage accident in NYC in the 1950s

Mainly the use of the word "nigger" and making fun of transvestites, I believe
