| I think many of the "second tier" G&S (Gondoliers, Ruddigore, Iolanthe, Patience, Yeoman) have some wonderful moments and great music but just aren't quite as accessible dramatically to audiences and harder to bring a more modern sensibility to. But most of my favorite individual numbers come from this group as opposed to the big three. | |

| It is not that unpopular an opinion. There are a number of us who count Ruddigore as their favorite. And its patter trio seems to appear once a decade on Broadway in some popular musical or other. |

| Well, they're ALL ridiculous - that's part of the fun. ;-) A favorite bit of dialogue in Ruddigore: Mad Margaret: But see, they come – Sir Despard and his evil crew! Hide, hide – they are all mad – quite mad! Rose: What makes you think that? Mad Margaret: Hush! They sing choruses in public. That's mad enough, I think. :-) |
