The jazz-infused revival of Gilbert and Sullivan's The Pirates of Penzance, titled Pirates! The Penzance Musical, ends its Broadway voyage at the Todd Haimes Theatre July 27. The limited engagement began previews April 4, and officially opened April 24. Read what critics had to say here.

Scott Ellis directs and Warren Carlyle choreographs. Tony winner Rupert Holmes (The Mystery of Edwin Drood) adapted W.S. Gilbert's original libretto, shifting the action to the legendary port city of New Orleans. While the score by Arthur Sullivan remains intact, a new set of orchestrations with Caribbean and French Quarter influences have been written by Joseph Joubert and Daryl Waters, with Joubert also serving as the production's music director.

The production stars Ramin Karimloo and David Hyde Pierce as The Pirate King and as W.S. Gilbert and the Major General, respectively. They are joined by Jinkx Monsoon as Ruth, Nicholas Barasch as Frederic, Preston Truman Boyd as Sullivan/Police Sergeant, and Samantha Williams as Mabel Stanley.

They are supported by Kelly Belarmino, Cicily Daniels, Ninako Donville, Rick Faugno, Tommy Gedrich, Alex Gibson, Afra Hines, Ryo Kamibayashi, Tatiana Lofton, Nathan Lucrezio, Shina Ann Morris, Tytone L. Robinson, Bronwyn Tarboton, and Richard Riaz Yoder. Swings Maria Briggs, Alex Dorf, Niani Feelings, and Cooper Stanton round out the company.

The production also has scenic design by Tony winner David Rockwell (She Loves Me, Doubt), costume design by Tony winner Linda Cho (The Great Gatsby, A Gentleman’s Guide to Love & Murder), lighting design by Tony winner Donald Holder (South Pacific, My Fair Lady, The Lion King), sound design by Tony nominee Mikaal Sulaiman (Macbeth, An Enemy of the People, Doubt), hair and wig design by Charles G. LaPointe, makeup design by Ashley Ryan, fight choreography by Rick Sordelet and Christian Kelly-Sordelet, and dance arrangements by John O'Neill (Harmony).
