The Pirates of Penzance combines whimsy, light-hearted satire and piratical characters with stirring music, including the iconic \u201cMajor-General\u2019s Song\u201d. This is the play that cemented the comic-pirate theme in popular culture, a theme that has lasted through more than a century and spawned countless movies and novels. Jam-packed with sentimental, swashbuckling pirates, a completely dotty Major General and a bumbling bunch of hopeless but hilarious policemen, what could possibly go wrong?\u00a0 Tickets HERE<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n
