I certainly would! Pinafore is one that people seem to enjoy the most because it's hilarious and the music is great. There's also a surprise ending which is ridiculous but great.

Patience, unfortunately, is dated. It deals with the Aesthetic Poetry movement of the 1870's. In our production at MIT, we essential made them gothic. It worked really well.
