Broadway Pirates
Richmond Theatre
June 1987 Past Productions

Overview

Broadway Pirates, June 1987 First performed in the late 1980s, the Broadway version of Gilbert and Sullivan’s operetta The Pirates of Penzance was the brain¬child of producer Joseph Papp.

Re-orchestrated for a band, and with the characters being given an up-beat facelift for the 20th century, the result achieved immediate success. Its plot however follows the traditional fore-runner.


Publicity photos were taken in front of The Katherine May in Southwark by kind permission of The Maritime Trust.
