Eight performances at El Teatro of El Museo del Barrio, 1230 Fifth Avenue at 104th Street, New York City.
This saucy ship’s a beauty! And so is the Captain’s daughter, Josephine, who has the misfortune to love a man below her in societal rank… despite her father’s determination that she marry one above her. Gilbert & Sullivan’s first international hit is full of spirited shanties, gorgeous ballads, social satire, long-hidden secrets, and true love triumphant—plus a bevy of sailors, sisters, cousins, and aunts. Don’t miss it!
