The Pirates of Penzance

This New York Gilbert & Sullivan Players production is your chance to get carried away by Pirates. Join the band of swashbuckling buccaneers, bumbling British bobbies, frolicsome Victorian maidens, and the delightfully dotty “model of a modern Major-General” for a rollicking romp over the rocky coast of Cornwall. The rich sounds of full orchestra, chorus, and legitimate vocal soloists resonate with classic elegance and power while the company’s vibrancy, energy and contemporary sense of humor keep the show alive and exciting to a modern audience. The Pirates of Penzance – they’ll steal your heart away!

“Opulent… colorful and inventive…beautifully crafted… the stage direction offered the balance of economy and extravagance that makes Gilbert & Sullivan work… lovely choreographic touches…polished but retaining spontaneity… The choruses of pirates, daughters and policemen sang and acted delightfully, and the orchestra supported the cast with robust playing guaranteed to warm the most demanding Savoyard’s heart.”— THE NEW YORK TIMES
