Jean Colin as Yum-Yum, Liz Paynter as Pitti-Sing, Kathy Naylor as Peep-Bo, Kenny Baker as Nanki-Poo, Constance Willis as Katisha, and an un-named & un-credited supporting cast of hundreds.
a great film to have ... but sad to lose the full score! At least we have SOME of Martyn Greene and Sydney Granville's classic performances on film ...
Actually he doesn't acquire the specs from nowhere. If you look closely they're on his head all through the first part. In the scene prior to this Martyn uses them as a comedy prop whereby he flicks them on and off with great comic effect. Unfortunately, you can't quite see how they appear because of the cropping at the top of the pic at the moment of the jerk, but if you look at around 1' 50" you'll see how they effortlessly disappear before your very eyes as he's jumping up and down !!
great piece of music. not so sure i like this version though. the cast from the movie topsy turvey perform this song PERFECTLY. it's mind blowing how good it is.
Twelve years is a long time. I wonder how your life has changed since the day you sat down and wrote your feelings. Wherever you are, I hope you're well.
@jlf180 The blurb also misses out the credit for Pooh Bah who, after starts the trio and sings the largest part in it. I like the lack of descriptive mime which, when abused by even companies like Doyle Carte, reminds me of Drag Queens miming a Dolly Parton song.
The very definition. We damned are still allowed to admire the actual good.

What is it that's lost? We had the whole of this performance on video in the 80s and I've no reason to believe it isnt still in my parent's house
@@OneEyePI Several of the numbers are cut.
Hehe, Poo Bah turtles!!
True, its not like this is supposed to be a serious and/or accurate portrayal of Japan. I still love it ;D
Best version ever! Ha at his massive collar...
The roll-top belly of Buddha's a zinger.
I believe that may be the point ;)

I prefer the version with Eric Donkin and Richard Macmillan which is the best clip from the Mikado on youtube....
Definitely true. They are far above others.
Eric donkin richard Macmillan
Yes
lol Why is Pooh-bah being played by a turtle?
But really, the coustumes in this are so silly!
Comedic effect. His shell is all his positions of government he holds.
i disagree. the version shown in topsy turvey is sheer perfection.
This was probably the real reason the Japanese allied with the Nazis and the Italians in ww2 ...
