i first saw this show live with the same cast a in the movie ( with the exception of the soprano who play mabel ) in adelaide and south australia and for my 16th birthday . i love it then and i love it now . poor frederic be the slave of duty and although he have live 21 year be in fact a little boy of 5. know this and he must return to the pirate band until 1940 and his mabel promise to wait for him . the show be very camp and the gag be hilarious and although some of them be very topical . jon english play to the audience as much a he do on the stage to great effect and the audience participation be well worth the fun . i have only just manage to get a new copy of this production after have wear the old video out . lol . it be my all time favourite feel good movie and just perfect for cheer you up when you be feel down .
