Share
The following songs have been cut:
"What Ought We to Do," "Hold Monsters," "Then, Frederic, Let Your Escort Lion-Hearted," "Now For the Pirates' Lair!" "Away, Away! My Heart's On Fire!" "All Is Prepared," "Stay, Frederic, Stay!" "Sorry Her Lot," "No, I Am Brave," "Hush, Hush! Not a Word," "Sighing Softly To the River"
Set sail with this classic comedy that boasts one of the most famous patter songs in musical theatre history. The wit and whimsy of Gilbert and Sullivan's classic score is suffused with a modern sensibility in The Pirates of Penzance JR., a swashbuckling musical journey!
Set on the rocky coast of Cornwall, England, The Pirates of Penzance JR. begins with a group of pirates who are celebrating the birthday of one of their own, Frederic, who has reached his 21st year. Finally having served the full length of his required time with the pirates, he decides to strike off on his own and become an upstanding citizen – which may even mean bringing the pirates to justice. Thus turns out to be a tricky prospect indeed, especially when Frederic's freedom is called into question!
The Pirates Of Penzance JR. is a light, comic introduction to the work of Gilbert and Sullivan, featuring opportunities for singing as an ensemble or in small groups, with vocal parts written in unison or simple two-part harmony.
