Gilbert and Sullivan’s: HMS Pinafore

This early satirical helped Gilbert and Sullivan chart a new course of modern musical theatre. The story revolves around lowly sailor Ralph Rackstraw and his awkward predicament. He’s fallen for the Captain’s daughter Josephine, but she’s been promised to the haughty Sir Joseph Porter. To make matters worse, although Josephine’s heart beats only for Ralph, she agrees to be a dutiful daughter and accept her role as Sir Joseph’s wife. Enter Little Buttercup the “baby farmer,” who admits her mistake from many years before—that Ralph was really born to the Captain’s parents, and vice versa. In the end, much rejoicing begins, as everyone finally finds true love. Even Little Buttercup!
