The Pirates of Penzance at Benjamin and Marian Schuster Performing Arts Center

Long before Johnny Depp swaggered his way across the Caribbean, a band of swashbuckling (but tenderhearted) pirates set hearts aflutter with their high seas hijinks. This cheeky Gilbert & Sullivan farce fairly explodes across the stage with damsels in distress, a sexy Pirate King, a delightfully dotty Major-General, and a score you will hum all the way home. Premiering at the acclaimed 5th Avenue Theatre, this romp of a musical is “complete with outrageous characters, swoon-worthy pirates and Mounties, lovely and hysterical ladies and all backed up by a killer orchestra” (Broadway World).
