Story

Ramin Karimloo, Jinkx Monsoon, and David Hyde Pierce lead the crew in Pirates! The Penzance Musical, this must-see Roundabout reimagining of The Pirates of Penzance. Scott Ellis (DoubtKiss Me, Kate) directs and Warren Carlyle (HarmonyKiss Me, Kate) choreographs with a hilarious new adaptation by Rupert Holmes (The Mystery of Edwin Drood), musical direction by Joseph Joubert (Caroline, or Change), and orchestrations by Joubert and Daryl Waters (Memphis). 

Gilbert & Sullivan’s pirate ship docks in New Orleans in this jazzy-bluesy vision of the crowd-pleasing classic, in an outrageously clever romp sizzling with Caribbean rhythms and French Quarter flair. With the tongue-twisting Major-General, the rabble-rousing Pirate King, newly-imagined young lovers, daring daughters, footloose pirates and fleet-footed police, there's a shipload of musical comedy delights on board to dazzle first-timers and G&S aficionados alike.

A Very Major Musical
"Although I'm not much of a Gilbert and Sullivan fan, this update is great fun. With a new book, a new setting (New Orleans), some revised songs and very clever choreography, Pirates is a delight! The cast is perfect, especially David Hyde Pierce as Major General Stanley. Ramin Karimloo as the Pirate King and Jinkx Monsoon as Ruth meld well with Hyde Pierce - lots of good chemistry! Several show-stopping numbers. Know your semaphor! A very enjoyable show!"

Witty, funny and exciting!
"Our first Broadway experience, we've seen many shows in our native Scotland, this was funny, the singing of an excellent standard, the show is light on plot making it extremely easy to enjoy as a performance, the Modern Major General song a particular highlight! Cast were excellent the drinks at the venue were obscenely over priced, I was billed $78 for two double gin and tonics which was twice the price of a bottle of the gin, the soda was however not as expensive at $10 for the first and $5 per refill. Show great, theatre great, concessions best avoided. "

Pure enjoyment that doesn't try to be anything else
"It's less a remake of Pirates of Penzance than it is an irreverent, exuberant love letter to Gilbert and Sullivan in general that takes excerpts from several of their comic operas. At no point does it ask the audience to take it seriously - it's just fun, with no serious plot, much less deep emotional experience. In other words, it very much resembles the source material. There's some slapstick that doesn't require any understanding, but the vast majority of the humor will go over kids' heads, so I wouldn't suggest it for them. Familiarity with G&S's work is helpful, but not really necessary. We (two adults and a 17-year-old) had a lot of fun."

Fantastic show and cast!
"The show was fantastic. We really liked that they set it in New Orleans and added a jazzy twist to the songs. Of course we wanted to see David Hyde Pierce and Jinkx Monsoon, but you could tell that it was a tight knit ensemble cast and there were no big egos, everyone was a star. This was our first time at the Todd Haimes Theatre and we will be back! It's a smaller theater and that made the show more intimate and interactive. The staff are first class. They are so friendly, professional and extremely accommodating. My mother uses a wheelchair but can transfer to a seat. I didn't realize, when I booked the tickets, that while our seats were on the end of the row, they were up against a wall. We couldn't get the wheelchair next to the seat to do the transfer. The house manager (I didn't get his name and I wish I did), went above and beyond for us. He found us empty seats right down by the stage that were accessible. I cannot say enough good things about him and the vibe of the theater itself."

What fun!
"This was a great rendition of Pirates of Penzance. I'm a fan of David Hyde Pierce but the entire ensemble was just as impressive. All good family fun with music and stage sets. Everyone should see this show before it's gone."
