Young Frederic, mistakenly apprenticed to a band of possibly the world’s most incompetent pirates, has finally turned 21. At last he is free to fall in love — which he promptly does — and fulfill his duty, which is to destroy pirates. There’s just one catch! Gilbert and Sullivan’s hilarious, swashbuckling romance is a comedy classic bursting with toe-tapping tunes from “I Am the Very Model of a Modern Major General” to “I Am a Pirate King,” from “Poor Wand’ring One” to “O, Is There Not One Maiden Breast?”.
