Gondoliers was a frothy, and delightful show with a number of strong performers! If you’re looking for a fun, toe tapping performance, there is one show tomorrow at the Mary Winspear!

(I'm sorry for linking to Evil Spotify - but I'm pretty sure the version on YouTube is sped up.)

With all the getting brow-beaten by life and CPTSD, I don't have many "glimmers" left… Except when I rediscover certain bits of music. It's been a while since I listened to The Mikado top to bottom, and I forgot how utterly delightful the "With laughing song and merry dance / Then let the throng our joy advance" choral bit is.

Starting about 2:21 (busts loose about 2:46) - bit of an interlude - then a reprise until 4:20ish with Katisha's entrance. (This Act I finale track also features one of Pitti-Sing's (who I played ca. 2015 in a local production) little mini solos.) (Being one of the few people on stage who could take that high Bb for "joyous, joyous shout" in the chorus was a thrill, too.)

Then you get a taste of it again in the Act 2 finale… just deliciously giddy music.
