Melina Moore and Valley Vocal Arts proudly present Gilbert & Sullivan's swashbuckling musical comedy, "THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE." Goofy, irreverent, and as entertaining today as it was when it opened in 1879, The Pirates of Penzance follows the story of an orphan boy who was mistakenly apprenticed to a pirate instead of a pilot. With a stellar local celebrity cast and more than a few quirky revisions to the original score, director/producer Melina Moore presents this hilarious farce featuring soft-hearted, hairy-chested pirates, bumbling policemen, a bevy of bubbling beauties and a VERY eccentric Major-General. Pure musical theatre, pantomime, burlesque family fun... not necessarily for the G&S purist!
