THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE Sail Into The Ordway This August

THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE will run August 4-16, 2015 at The Ordway. Tickets start at $36.

A band of swashbuckling pirates set hearts aflutter with their high seas hijinks in this updated version of Gilbert & Sullivan's cheeky farce. Filled with damsels in distress, a sexy pirate king, Canadian Mounties, a delightfully dotty Major-General and a score you'll hum all the way home. Fresh, clever and laugh-out-loud hilarious- It's pure Gilbert & Sullivan meets Spamalot!

The Ordway is widely recognized as one of the nation's leading nonprofit performing arts centers and Saint Paul's most elegant and inviting performance space.
