Gilbert & Sullivan's Pirates of Penzance

Sponsored by Michael and Andrea Stone Get swept away by the New York Gilbert & Sullivan Players' spectacular production of The Pirates of Penzance, one of the most beloved comic operas of all time. This rollicking romp follows the lovestruck young Frederic, who hopes to leave his apprenticeship with a band of tenderhearted pirates on his 21st "birthday," only to discover an absurd leap-year loophole that threatens to bind him to their service indefinitely. Filled with dizzying wordplay, dazzling patter songs, and gorgeous romantic arias, this hilarious adventure brings together a brash Pirate King, a battalion of bumbling bobbies, and the delightfully dotty Major-General Stanley. Brought to life by a vibrant company and a rich, full orchestra, it is a silly, high-spirited, and heartwarming classic that will steal your heart away!
