Pirated!

Full-length Musical Comedy | This new musical flips “The Pirates of Penzance” upside-down, setting it in an early 1930’s Hollywood studio during the filming of the Gilbert and Sullivan masterpiece. A hodgepodge of talent has been assembled including silent film has-beens with terrible voices, brilliant vocalists with “faces for radio” who provide the actors’ dialogue and singing, and an over-worked crew who return in Act II as members of the tap-dancing Los Angeles Police Department. The original’s terms of indenture have been replaced by nefarious artists’ contracts leading to mutiny and uproarious mayhem! (Cast: 11F, 16M, Flexible)
