I gave it a 4 out of 10 on the strength of some of the participants but this is a classic example of a lack of trust in the material. The relentlessly jokey approach undermines our sympathy and the casting of Vincent Price and Keith Michell is beyond belief. Vincent was cast, I suppose, because of his star power and association with horror films.
It's not so much his voice (the George Grossmith parts in G&S do not require wonderful voices.) but his lack of style. Keith is not as bad but this is not a recommendation. There are some much better entries in the series like Princess Ida and Iolanthe and even Patience.
Also on the debit side is the abridged overture and the so-called "improvements" in many of the songs.
Do yourself a favor and give it a miss!
