"I started getting into Gilbert & Sullivan operettas after viewing The Pirates of Penzance movie on TV. OMG. Funniest musical. I bought the soundtrack and then viewed Topsy-Turvy (a retelling of how G&S got to creating The Mikado). I bought that album as well. I have since bought another three G&S operettas (the recorded albums) but I found some of the singing made it difficult to understand the lyrics. Lyrics, of course, help you understand the gist of the play/musical/whatever. So I bought this book which has the collected works of G&S printed clearly. You can watch the play and follow right along. You can listen to the album and follow right along. YAY!! I now know the lyrics to these operettas and enjoy singing them out loud in my car in traffic. (I get a lot of funny looks.)"
