H.M.S. Pinafore

Barn Theatre
30 Sir Francis Drake Blvd Ross

Enjoy a romantic romp aboard the H.M.S. Pinafore, Gilbert & Sullivan's beloved comic operetta of mistaken identity, love, intrigue and duty in the British Navy. This seaworthy satire spins the yarn of a gentlemanly captain who's arranged for his daughter to marry the First Lord of the Admiralty ... even though she's already in love with a common sailor on her father's ship. The show's signature hummable tunes include "I'm Called Little Buttercup," "When I Was a Lad" and "I Am the Captain of the Pinafore." This superb example of a Gilbert and Sullivan operetta has remained immensely popular throughout the 130-plus years since its debut and has contributed significantly to the development of modern musical theater.
