The Pirate Queen

The Pirate Queen at Foxwoods Theater

Why see The Pirate Queen?

The Pirate Queen is a sweeping tale of love set in a political context, mixing musical influences with the help of Gaelic pipes and whistles.
Variety 

The Pirate Queen is an epic musical adventure celebrating the legendary Irish Chieftain Grace O'Malley. Based on her real-life story, The Pirate Queen tells of a compelling, inspirational woman; a heroine who led an extraordinary life as a pirate, chieftain, lover and mother in 16th Century Ireland. Commissioned and produced by Moya Doherty and John McColgan, the producers of Riverdance, this new musical combines classic storytelling and a sweeping score, with the powerful, vibrant traditions of Irish dance and song, to create a modern musical event that is both an historic romance and a timeless epic.

The Pirate Queen features a new score from the Tony Award-winning team of Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schönberg, one of the most successful teams of author/composers in musical theatre. The new musical will be directed by Tony Award-winner Frank Galati

Great Cast, Great Music, Great Show!

A wonderful night out - Stephanie J. Block as Grace O'Malley is mesmerizing, she owns the show along with a superb supporting cast, beautiful sets and wardrobe, and incredible music. We particularly enjoyed Linda Balgord’s performance as Queen Elizabeth I, and Hadley Fraser as Tiernan. We were very privileged to be at the 3/5 preview, and will certainly be adding this to our list of must see shows on Broadway when it officially opens in April. Our mid-center Orchestra seats afforded the perfect view and spectacular sound, allowing a full appreciation of this beautiful production. Highly recommended! ... Read more

The Pirate Queen

This musical is incredible. Several Chicago bloggers have been dismissing it, but I tell them that they don't know what they're talking about. (Just becuase you don't come out humming a melody that hit you over the head doesn't mean that the score is bad) On second thought, the score is one of the best I've ever heard even at this early stage in the preview process. It's blend of rock, musical theater, and celtic music create a cohesive yet diverse score that "Phantom of the Opera" only attempts to achieve. The production values are also incredibe creating a beautiful atmosphere, and the cast is magnificent. (Especially Grania played by Stephanie J. Block and Tiernan played by Hadley Fraser) It is definately one of the most talented casts I've ever seen. The story is entralling, the music soaring, and the production remarkable. I hope critics and audiences alike realize the magnificance of this work and appreciate it as much as I have. ... Read more
