Gilbert and Sullivan's PIRATES OF PENZANCE explodes onto the ballet stage with swashbuckling pirates and damsels in distress. Following the comic operetta of 1879 and the hit musical of 1980, Daryl Gray's extravaganza is jam packed with tour de force dance, a re-orchestrated Broadway-flavored score featuring four comic onstage vocalists, the Ballet San Jose Silicon Valley orchestra and all the fantasy, gaiety, and romance this wonderful G&S story has to offer. These buccaneers deliver loads of action and heaps of fun for the entire family. Kick start your Holiday Season with this all new production. You will love it!
