Gilbert and Sullivan’s HMS Pinafore @ Wilton’s Music Hall
March 17, 2022
Sasha Regan’s award-winning All Male Company will dock at Wilton’s Music Hall with HMS Pinafore! Originally a sell-out production halted by the pandemic, we now have an amazing opportunity to witness the follow-up to the award-winning All Male production of The Pirate of Penzance.
Sasha Regan’s burly sailors and winsome lasses will take you below deck during World War II in this inventive reimagining of Gilbert and Sullivan’s fourth collaboration and first blockbuster: H.M.S. Pinafore, or The Lass That Loved a Sailor. The Captain’s daughter, Josephine, falls for lower class sailor Ralph Rackstraw but her father wishes for her to marry the upstanding Sir Joseph Porter, First Lord of the Admiralty. Will Josephine follow her heart’s desire, or will she honour her father’s wish? Find out in March!
The troops create a distraction from the goings-on above board. Expect plenty of mischief, mistaken identities and surprises on the high seas from a diverse crew of brawny Popeyes and their love interests.
With infectious tunes and a beautifully constructed libretto, this charming comic operetta deals with the age-old conundrum of love between social classes.
I have long wanted to organise a trip to see a Gilbert & Sullivan Operetta, having cut my teeth on them throughout my school years. What better opportunity to see this wonderful piece than in the beautifully and authentically restored Music Hall. Wilton’s Music Hall is the oldest Grand Music Hall in the World. It really is a joy to witness the building, let alone the production. Reasons to see the show are endless. Hopefully you share my enthusiasm. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.
