Well, if you are not a purist, because both G and S are right now rolling in their graves, then the Australians (Essgee Entertainment) went mad with The Mikado. They also did an equally whacky Pirates of Penzance.
We have the dvds of the performances, but there are some (really poor quality) bits on YouTube if anyone cares.
So if you don't know "Let the punishment fit the crime" from The Mikado and you want to see a bonkers low quality version of it:
youtu.be/TQuhtvTLQf8?t=309
I've started the video where it gets going.
YouTube also of course has many "proper" versions of this song, which are just as much fun, but in a different way.
And I do appreciate G&S are totally Marmite, you love it or you hate it, with nowt in between.
