Why see Pirates! The Penzance Musical?
All Aboard!
Set sail with the legendary Gilbert and Sullivan for this high spirited, jazzed-up New Orleans reimagining of the classic adventure on the high seas! A delight for audiences of all ages since 1879, it features a side-splitting, swashbuckling story with jazz and blues-infused reworks of the some of the duo's most beloved melodies, including the unforgettable lyrical labyrinth that is 'The Modern Major General's Song'.
With Tony nominee Ramin Karimloo (Les Miserables) as the articulate Major-General and Emmy, Tony and SAG Award winner David Hyde Pierce (Frasier, Curtains) as the dynamic Pirate King and Jinkx Monsoon as Ruth, this brand new take on an age-old classic will have you in stitches whether you're new on deck or old shiphand to the Pirates of Penzance!
What Is The Story?
When he meets the beautiful Mabel and falls head over heels, his release couldn't come sooner. But the course of true love is as bumpy as the seven seas, especially when he discovers he was born on a leap year!
