WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Set sail with this classical comedy that boasts one of the most famous patter songs in musical theater history. On the coast of Cornwall, a band of tenderhearted pirates celebrates the coming of age of Frederic, who was mistakenly apprenticed to the pirates until his 21st birthday. Now, Frederic has vowed to devote his life to the extermination of piracy - until a ludicrous leap year snag threatens to keep him apprenticed to the pirates for life!

A listen to Albert Bergeret leading the New York Gilbert & Sullivan Players orchestra through the jauntily elegant overture of The Pirates of Penzance, currently being presented in a dramatically uneven production as part of the company's repertory season at City Center, instantly explains why in 1883 Queen Victoria grandly knighted composer Arthur Sullivan. A listen to W. S. Gilbert's lyrics when the operetta proper begins instantly explains why the same "we-are-not-amused" monarch refused throughout her reign to make a sir of the witty bloke.
