The Pirates of Penzance - Broadway Version, 20th to 24th May, 7:30 and 2:30 on Saturday
The Broadway version of one of Gilbert and
Sullivan's best comic operas. On his 21st birthday, Frederic leaves the pirates
who brought him up in order to live a more honest life. He falls in love with
Mabel, one of the Major-General's many daughters. However, the Pirate King has a
scheme to keep Frederic in his band of rogues forever… This swashbuckling
show includes many well-loved songs such as Paradox, Poor Wandering One and
the often parodied Major General's Song. Its rollicking romance, wit and
humour has been pleasing audiences since the opera first opened in London 120
years ago.
