The Pirates of Penzance at Gilbert & Sullivan Society Houston

The Gilbert & Sullivan Society of Houston presents the 1983 movie musical adaptation of The Pirates of Penzance at the River Oaks Theatre. Featuring Kevin Kline in his Tony Award-winning role as The Pirate King alongside Angela Lansbury, Linda Ronstadt, George Rose, and Rex Smith, this classic musical comedy tells the tale of a roguish pirate king and his young charge in a whimsical adventure full of mistaken identity. With its catchy melodies and humorous lyrics, the film captures the essence of W.S. Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan's operatic style. The screening follows the Society's sold-out summer performance of the operetta in 2023.
