Pirates Of Penzance

Written by W. S. Gilbert
Music by Sir Arthur Sullivan
Opened December 30, 1879 Royal Bijou Theatre Paignton, England

Synopsis

Frederick, son of a wealthy 19th century man was to be apprenticed to a pilot, but due to a hard-of-hearing nurserymaid, was instead apprenticed to a pirate. Not just any pirate, but the Pirate King, leader of the not-so-fierce "Pirates of Penzance". But now his indentures are over, Frederick's sense of duty calls him to rid the seas of these rather simple ruffians. Despite their track record, the pirates believe that they have an ace up their collective sleeves...

Song List

Overture
Pour, O Pour the Pirate Sherry
When Frederic Was a Little Lad
Oh, Better Far to Live and Die
Oh, False One, You Have Deceived Me
Far Away from Toil and Care
Climbing Over Rocky Mountain
Stop, Ladies, Pray!
Oh, Is There Not One Maiden Breast
Poor Wandering One!
What Ought We To Do
How Beautifully Blue The Sky
Stay, We Must Not Lose Our Senses
Hold, Monsters!
I Am The Very Model of a Modern Major-General
Oh, Men of Dark and Dismal Fate
Oh, Dry The Glistening Tear
Then, Frederic, Let You Escort Lion Hearted/When the Foeman Bares His Steel
Now for the Pirates Lair
When You Had Left Our Pirate Fold
Away, Away! My Heart's on Fire
All Is Prepared
Ah, Leave Me Not to Pine
Stay, Frederic, Stay
No, I Am Brave

A Rollicking Band of Pirates We
With Cat-Like Tread, Upon Our Prey We Steal
Hush, Hush! Not a Word/Sighing Softly To The River
