Pirates of Penzance, Jr.

As entertaining today as it was when it opened in 1879, Gilbert and Sullivan’s popular comic operetta, The Pirates of Penzance spins an hilarious farce of sentimental pirates, bumbling policemen, dewy-eyed daughters and an eccentric Major-General, all morally bound to the dictates of honor and duty.

The score is beautiful and whimsical and there are a number of memorable roles. This Jr. edition is presented by the Helen Hayes Youth Theatre.
