...poet Reginald Bunthorne. In the context of a set containing an enormous portrait of Elvis, a malt-shop sign and a jukebox, these sentiments seem better suited to tenth-grade teeny-boppers than seasoned literati. Moreover, the characters' "hip" enunciation of phrases like "they're so square" mix poorly with the original "prithee's." To cap it off, Colonel Calverly's (David Magill) patter song with the dragoons, although extremely well sung, is simply neither tuneful nor funny...
