Written by Gilbert & Sullivan
Stage Directed by Marisa Echeverria
Music Directed by John Driscoll
The Premise: The story of a captain's daughter and a common sailor who fall in love on the HMS Pinafore, this was the first smash hit for Gilbert and Sullivan and still remains one of the three most popular pieces in their repertoire today.
What to look for: A fast-paced musical farce that promises to be highly entertaining, even as a social commentary on class and pride unfolds. And as director Echeverria says, despite the traditional sets and costumes and ideas, modern parallels can still be found, which helps to explain why Gilbert and Sullivan has always been at once both archaic and new.
The Buzz: The Gilbert and Sullivan Players have always been one of the bastions of musical theater on campus, and this one too will be at the very least, an uproarious evening of great songs and easy laughter.
