I’m a huge G&S fan and I have heard most of the historical Doyly Carte Productions of Patience back to the Sir Henry Lytton era and I don’t believe that any of the Doyly Carte legends do this any better than Anthony Warlow and Dennis Olsen. Absolutely the best in my opinion and we are very lucky that we have a video of it to store for posterity.
@zelalife25594 ай бұрын
Have you ever seen Doyly Carte perform?😅In addition, Dennis Olsen is also a former Doyly Carte member,As far as the Patience video currently exists, 1982 Brent Walker is better.
@brianappleby51124 ай бұрын
I am 73 years old and have been a G&S fan and amateur performer since I was 18. I saw all of the D’Oyly Carte productions most more than once in the 1960’s through early 1980’s. I recall John Reed as Bunthorne and Kenneth Sandford as Grosvenor and I stand by my conviction that this is the best version of this particular song that I have ever seen. By Brent Walker you mean the producer of the 1982 tv version? I don’t think I have seen it but until I do this is mt favourite.
@brianappleby51124 ай бұрын
Denis Olsen was John Reeds understudy at Doyly Carte for several years but returned to Australia when he realised that Reed wasn’t likely to retire soon.

I love this and heartily recommend the DVD (which I found at my local library). They're both absolutely terrific obviously. Also, consider that Dennis Olsen (mid-50s here) immediately had to resume speaking, singing and dancing in the next scene. I continue to be impressed by the physicality of G&S comedians. (Anthony Warlow had a complete change of costume in about 3 minutes and re-entered dancing and singing so he's no small shakes either.)

Saw Dennis Olsen in 1991 - a Sunday matinee of the one-man show "A Song to Sing-o ", about George Grossmith, at Sydney Opera House (one of the smaller venues in the complex). Brilliant. Plus, during the interval, you could wander out and eat your ice-cream with a view of Sydney Harbour. A memorable afternoon.
