Gilbert & Sullivan’s The Pirates of Penzance

Poster icon of 'Pirates of the Penzance' that shows a dark blue sea against a light blue sky with a silhouette in white of two people, close but not intimate. The man is on the left and appears to be wearing a pirate hat and a jacket with long tails. The woman is in a dress that is blowing in the breeze. she has long curly hair. In the background, a pirate ship is seen on the horizon.

Set sail with this classic comedy that boasts one of the most famous patter songs in musical theatre history. Gilbert and Sullivan’s hilarious, hopeful farce follows young Frederic, an orphan who has mistakenly been apprenticed to an ineffectual but raucous band of pirates. He disavows the pirates’ way of life and falls for the beautiful Mabel. Frederic’s melodious tones win over the heart of Major-General Stanley’s songbird daughter, Mabel, but when the Pirate King discovers that General Stanley has lied about being an orphan to keep the pirates from stealing all of his belongings and carrying off his bevy of beautiful daughters, an “ingenious paradox” may prevent the budding romance and lead to the death of “The very model of a modern Major-General.”
