The ever-popular New York Gilbert & Sullivan Players returns with another excellent production, the romantic comedy H.M.S. Pinafore. The lowly sailor Ralph Rackstraw has fallen in love with Josephine, daughter of Captain Corcoran. Promised to the insufferable Sir Joseph Porter, K.C.B, First Lord of the Admiralty, Josephine swears not to follow her heart in returning Ralph's affection and the Captain reveals his own attraction to the lowly peddler woman, Little Buttercup. Classic songs including "I am the Captain of the Pinafore," and "We Sail the Ocean Blue" highlight social commentary about class and ambition while keeping with still being hilariously entertaining.
