ABOUT THE PERFORMANCES

Broadway Training Center of Westchester presents The Pirates of Penzance

A New Version of GILBERT and SULLIVAN'S THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE

As Presented on Broadway by New York Shakespeare Festival

Book by Sir William Schwenck Gilbert

Music by Sir Arthur Seymour Sullivan

Lyrics by Sir William Schwenck Gilbert

Directed by Jason Brantman and Fiona Santos

Inspired by the minds of Gilbert and Sullivan, this version of the Tony Award-winning The Pirates of Penzance is a swashbuckling adventure for the whole family! This classic score's beauty, wit, and whimsy are imbued with a modern sensibility that first set sail in 1879 and again onto Broadway in the 1980s, making audiences laugh ever since. The story follows young Frederic, an orphan mistakenly apprenticed by an ineffectual but raucous band of pirates. Frederic meets and falls for the melodic Mabel and disavows the pirate lifestyle. But, when the Pirate King discovers Major-General Stanley, Mabel's father, claimed untruthfully to be an orphan for the sake of his fortune and to protect his daughters, Frederic realizes that his paradise may not last for much longer, and the hilarious complications abound.

"One of the most beloved shows in the English speaking world... The musical defies categorization and has a combination of music including arias, ballads, choruses and four part harmonies. There is sharp dialogue, a twisting plot and clever lyrics."
— Richard Connema, TalkinBroadway.com
