Pirates is back!

Following sell-out shows on tour and at Wiltons Music Hall, this all male production of Gilbert & Sullivan’s most popular and successful classic operettas comes to the Empire. Fast and funny and packed with satirical wit and musical excellence.

The Pirates of Penzance was an immediate triumph for Gilbert and Sullivan and is still one of their most popular and successful works today. The two men constantly updated the piece with satirical, political and social references; and Sasha Regan’s extraordinary production adds another delicious twist to this musical classic – continuing the tradition of Gilbert and Sullivan as contemporary theatre.

This exquisitely funny take on a much-loved classic was a huge critical and popular hit during its first London run, and is a must-see for all musical theatre fans!
