The Pirates of Penzance
AAARRRRGH! The Pirates of Penzance is packed with laughs, cheers, and foolery! A young apprentice pirate with no stomach for a future of piracy is due to be released from his required service on his twenty-first birthday… Trouble is, fate might just intervene with the plan. With his newly found sweetheart, a long-winded but well-intentioned father, and a Pirate King boss with his own merry band of buccaneers, The Pirates of Penzance is a modern, major spectacle for the entire family.
Sung in English with English Surtitles
