Laugh along on this rollickling tale of pirates on the high seas and damsels in distress. Peppered with unforgettable melodies and tongue-twisting songs, The Pirates of Penzance is one of the most popular operattas ever written. In spite of being apprenticed to a pirate king as a child, Frederic has led a very sheltered life. So when he arrives on shore with his boisterous shipmates, there are few surprises in store for him! It all ends happily, but not before he's dodged the Old Bill, fallen in love and made some rather inconvenient discoveries. Gilbert & Sullivan's popular comedy features such well-known songs as "I Am the Very Model of a Modern Major General" and "Poor Wandering One."
