Pirates of Penzance

Pasadena Playhouse
39 S. El Molino Ave. Pasadena

Toss your worries overboard and join playful pirates, dewy-eyed damsels, bumbling bobbies and one very stuffy modern Major-General on stage. Bring your friends and family to experience the biggest beach party of the year--complete with guitars, beach balls, banjos and a tiki bar! Find your inner pirate as Chicago theater rebels The Hypocrites bring this brilliantly zany adaptation of the Gilbert and Sullivan classic musical to LA for the first time, and you won't want to miss out on the fun!

Stage Scene LA - Highly Recommended

"...Pasadena Playhouse is throwing a beach party and you're invited to share the stage with the players as the audaciously talented young Chicago troupe known as The Hypocrites treat L.A. audiences to the fun-in-the-sun extravaganza that is their take on Gilbert & Sullivan's Pirates Of Penzance."

Stage Raw - Somewhat Recommended

"...Graney's production is clearly intended more for a family audience than for childless folk; there are several hallmarks of Theatre for Young Audiences, including emphasizing certain words with repeated gestures to underscore their importance and/or that they're recurring themes, or using ASL in an early song to differentiate between "pilot" and "pirate." That's not to say there aren't jokes for older people, too: when Mabel's sisters first appear, they're playing ukuleles and singing Kelis' "Milkshake," a 2004 pop song that reached critical mass in the movie Mean Girls. But even with those nods, the show's intent is clear: this is for families."

Broadway World - Recommended

"...Trimmed down to a tidy 80 minutes (plus a one minute intermission) the ensemble tells its pirate story of love and adventure amid a beach party setting. Tiki torches and overhead strands of lights cast an inviting glow, a central winding boardwalk is shared by actors and audience, and an island bar sells drinks throughout the show."
