Strike up the band of one of Gilbert and Sullivan's most beloved operettas. The Pirates of Penzance combines whimsy, light-hearted satire and piratical characters with stirring music that cements the comic-pirate theme in popular culture. 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.
