The Royal Pyrate

The Royal Pyrate is a new musical that reimagines the 300-year-old love story of the pirate Black Sam Bellamy and Mary Hallet, a woman so ahead of her time she was accused of witchcraft in colonial Massachusetts. Based on the real history of the Golden Age of Piracy, The Royal Pyrate stars Maggie Lickani (Sunset Boulevard), Danny Hayward (Forbidden Broadway), Korie Lee Blossey (Aladdin, Cyclops: A Rock Opera), Lauren Molina (Sweeney Todd, Rock of Ages, The Skivvies) and features an original score and lyrics by Jason Landon Marcus with a book by Chas LiBretto (Pulitzer Prize nominees for Cyclops: A Rock Opera). Directed by Emily Abrams (Mindplay, NYTW 2050 Fellow, Ars Nova’s Emerging Leadership Fellow) the 100 minute musical blends sea shanty, roots rock, and pirate music for a score that will be performed by Jim Bertini, Charley Layton, Jason Landon Marcus, Charlie Bennet, Tais Szilagi, & Ellie Goodman.
