Get ready for a unique swashbuckling musical journey! The wit and whimsy of Gilbert and Sullivan's classic score is suffused with a modern sensibility in THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE JR., a hilarious musical farce that centers on a host of colorful characters – including sentimental pirates, bumbling policemen, dim-witted young lovers, dewy-eyed daughters and an eccentric Major-General, all morally bound to the often-ridiculous dictates of honor and duty.
Set on the rocky coast of Cornwall, England, THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE JR. begins with a group of pirates who are celebrating the birthday of one of their own, Frederic, who has reached his twenty-first year. Finally having served the full length of his required time with the pirates, he decides to strike off on his own and become an upstanding citizen – which may even mean bringing the pirates to justice. Thus turns out to be a tricky prospect indeed, especially when Frederic’s freedom is called into question!
