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.
