Oh, love of mine. This might be my college's fall musical, and I'm crossing my fingers that they pick it. I mean, what's not to like? Fops, big dresses, wigs, and exciting (slightly nonhistorical) plots are nothing short of awesome.

1934 version:

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12.

1-12. Look, it's Ashley Wilkes. Hee.
17-19. Ian McKellan as Chauvelin = funniest thing ever.
20. I like how that shot captures Percy's pure absurdity at times. And the ruffles - can't forget those.
22. Poor Armand. Look at that unibrow.
23. Tony cracks me up, for some unknown reason.
26, 28. A scarlet pimpernel's a rather weed-like flower, when you look it it. (Surprising that no one's ever adopted a dandelion as their symbol.)
27. Broadway cast from 1999, after Terry Mann left.
And my favourite song from the musical? "The Riddle."
(You should ask about my secret audition plan. It's insane and genius at the same time.)

Pimpernel! Very pretty. Taking 1 & 28.

Hurrah, Pimpernel! Snagging number 2.

That's one of my favorite musicals. They're so pretty! Ganking a few, WC!

Aww, my favorite costume drama - before I saw Daniel Deronda, anyway. ;) I'm trying to decide which of the many amazing (1982) Percy icons I should take, and I'm snagging Armand. =) And 25 is too wonderful not to take, too...

Oh, I loved that book! I never knew it was made into a musical; I'll have to see if I can find it on tape somewhere. I'm memory-fying this and using #15. (Will credit. ^_^)

Aw, the one I saw was with Terry Mann. :(

[grace-lyn.livejournal.com]

Love 'em! Good job :) I snagged a couple, and will definitely credit!

Stole 25. YAY!!! Thank you!

[sphinxvictorian.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much! I took 8, 11, 15, and 16. I love seeing the ones from the 1982 one. I wish they'd release that on DVD!

Argh! I never knew there existed a 1934 version -and Leslie Howard is even in it... Weeee!!!! These are really great!!!

[narnian-warrior.livejournal.com]

#28 is pretty :)
(btw, don't you think it's a little unappropriate to use the 'd' word?)

Here from Little_Women
Snagged a bunch of these from all three versions.

Taking a few of the 1982 ones. Haven't decided which ones yet... Love your comments (Ian McKellan is hilarious as Chauvelin, especially when you've only ever seen him as Gandalf). I'm hoping to get the 1934 on DVD sometime, except according to most of the discussions I've seen the only half-decent DVD copy is a Region 2 British DVD. You'd think Criterion Collection or one of those groups would restore it - I've seen the awful DVD version I got from Netflix, and it was good, plotwise. I love the 82 version, but I wish they'd kept more of the book plot.
