Leta,
I think you messed up something in that first title…

Isn’t it: “I’ve Built a Better Model Than the One at Data General”?

You don’t have to post an explicit: DANGER_WARNING_DANGER! This show contains Pirates with stage weapons eating chicken while singing patter songs! DANGER_WARNING_DANGER! signs around the venue? Things have gone soft under the Republicrat and Democans.

Actually, any one producing a G&S show is required in several states to disclose in all advertising that patter songs will be used. The legal phrasing is something like “includes such popular numbers as “I am the very model of a moden Major-General”, “Poor Wand’ring One”, “With cat-like tread”, and the beloved “Hail Poetry”, Pirates of Penzance is a must-see for the entire family.”

I agree that burying the patter number amongst all the other songs may be skirting the intent of the law, but baby steps, you know, baby steps.

I’m all for the Gilbert and Sullivan warning. Nudity, weapons and meat are nothing compared to the pitter patter of their works!
