Come and "sail the ocean blue" with Sasha Regan's smash hit All-Male H.M.S. Pinafore which docks at Wilton's Music Hall next week for another nautical adventure.
Burly sailors will take you below deck on a World War II battleship in this inventive reimagining of W. S. Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan's fourth collaboration and first international blockbuster: H.M.S. Pinafore, or "The Lass That Loved a Sailor".
With infectious tunes and a beautifully constructed libretto, this charming comic operetta deals with the age-old conundrum of love between social classes. The Captain's daughter, Josephine, is caught between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea when she falls for lower class sailor Ralph Rackstraw, but the Captain wishes for her to marry the upstanding Sir Joseph Porter, the First Lord of the Admiralty. Will Josephine follow her heart or honour her father's wish? Find out from March. Anything is possible in this epic seagoing love story.
Expect plenty of mischief and surprises on the high seas from the brawny Popeyes and their gorgeous lasses.
The run at Wilton's follows their widely acclaimed award-nominated All-Male The Pirates of Penzance at Wilton's (2019) and at the Palace Theatre, West End (December 2020) and their award-winning UK and Australian tours.
Sasha Regan's All-Male H.M.S. Pinafore opens at Wilton's Music Hall on 16th March, running until 9th April 2022
