The jazz-infused revival of Gilbert and Sullivan's The Pirates of Penzance is just around the corner, and a cracking crew has been assembled!

The reimagined production, which for this run will be titled Pirates! The Penzance Musical, will begin previews on April 4, 2025, and open officially April 24. The limited engagement will continue through June 22, 2025 at the Todd Haimes Theatre.

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

They will be supported by Kelly Belarmino, Maria Briggs, Eddie Cooper, Cicily Daniels, Ninako Donville, Alex Dorf, Rick Faugno, Niani Feelings, Tommy Gedrich, Alex Gibson, Afra Hines, Dan Hoy, Ryo Kamibayashi, Tatiana Lofton, Nathan Lucrezio, Shina Ann Morris, Cooper Stanton, and Bronwyn Tarboton.

Rupert Holmes (The Mystery of Edwin Drood) has adapted W.S. Gilbert's original libretto, shifting the action to the legendary port city 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 serving as the production's music director. Scott Ellis will direct and Warren Carlyle will choreograph. 

The design team will include scene 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), and dance arrangements by John O'Neill (Harmony). Casting is by Jim Carnahan and Jason Thinger.
