...role of the Rt. Hon. Sir Joseph Porter, K.C.B., First Lord of the Admiralty, whose extended title reveals all you need to know about his character. Polk gives Sir Joseph a dynamic face and a manner of self-satisfied delight which, along with Sir Joseph’s firm belief that all Englishmen are equal, except himself, create a character who is irresistibly charming despite his obnoxious manner.Miller provides lively choreography for his all-male crew of sailors, who start off the act with their strong voices and are onstage for most of the show.
