Gilbert and Sullivan Goes Wrong.

 So to the ENO for Pinafore last February.  A warship of a show, hard to mess up. 

But for us, they kinda managed to.

Mel Giedroyc - who we at the Trees normally like, as a rule - was a 'special guest star', and she kept on popping up as a meta-guest, who was chaotically interfering with a show of the Pinafore.  Rather like a second rate version of The Play That Goes Wrong - where the play is a G&S performance.  Her style of clowning clashed with much of the rest of the comedy in the show, and the whole thing was rather scrappy.

Disappointing.
