Broadway’s ‘Pirates! The Penzance Musical’ Gets Four-Week Extension Prior To Opening
Pirates! begins previews on Friday, April 4, with an official opening on Thursday, April 24. The limited engagement will now close July 27.
The Penzance Musica l, the Gilbert & Sullivan musical reimagined by Rupert Holmes in a New Orleans jazz-infused style, has been given a four-week Broadway extension “due to popular demand,” according to Roundabout Theater Company. The cast also includes Kelly Belarmino, Maria Briggs, Cicily Daniels, Ninako Donville, Alex Dorf, Rick Faugno, Niani Feelings, Tommy Gedrich, Alex Gibson, Afra Hines, Dan Hoy, Ryo Kamibayashi, Tatiana Lofton, Nathan Lucrezio, Shina Ann Morris, Cooper Stanton, and Bronwyn Tarboton. The synopsis: Gilbert & Sullivan’s pirate ship docks in New Orleans in this jazzy-bluesy vision of the crowd-pleasing classic, in an outrageously clever romp sizzling with Caribbean rhythms and French Quarter flair.
