"Pirates of Penzance" Sailing to Hudson Players Stage
by Durbin, Mark H. 11 Apr '19

11 Apr '19

Don't Miss This Timeless Musical Treat! Hudson Players Present Gilbert & Sullivan's "The Pirates of Penzance" Or the "The Slave of Duty" Show dates are : April 26, 27, May 3, 4, 5, 10, 11, 12, 17 & 18 at the Barlow Community Center, 41 South Oviatt Street in Hudson Tickets are available at www.hudsonplayers.com<http://www.hudsonplayers.com/?fbclid=IwAR223eSTcoHx2DdQR6P8zjALYIledH6-_NER…> or call the box office at 330-655-8522. The Pirates of Penzance; or, The Slave of Duty, is a comic light opera in two acts, with music by Arthur Sullivan and libretto by W. S. Gilbert, the first superstar songwriting duo in musical theatre history. The Hudson Players' version is the one that was presented on Broadway in the early 1980s by Joseph Papp and the New York Public Theatre, starring Linda Ronstadt and Kevin Kline, on which the subsequent movie was also based. Compared with traditional productions of Pirates, Papp's version featured a more swashbuckling Pirate King and Frederic, and a broader, more musical comedy of singing and humour. It did not significantly change the libretto, but it used a new orchestration and arrangements that changed some keys, added repeats, lengthened dance music and made other minor changes in the score. Filled with swashbuckling pirates, sweet young lovers, and bumbling policemen, Pirates of Penzance is as popular now as when it premiered at the Fifth Avenue Theatre in New York City on 31 December 1879, where the show was well received by both audiences and critics. Set during the time of Queen Victoria, it involves the dashing young Frederick (played by Logan Soland), an orphan who as a baby was mistakenly apprenticed to a pirate instead of a "pilot." Having reached the age of 21, Frederick is released from his servitude and immediately falls in love with the beauteous Mabel (Anna Popa), daughter of Major General Stanley (Brian O. Jackson). Alas, the young lad learns from his nurse maid Ruth (Norene Jones) that he was born on February 29, which means he only has a birthday in a leap year - once every four years. Since he is a "slave of duty," Frederick realizes he must be a pirate for another 63 years until his obligation is fulfilled, with the chaste Mabel agreeing to wait for him faithfully. Stir in the flamboyant Pirate King (Bradley Hills), his simpleton assistant Samuel (Gary Maher), Mabel's songbird sisters Kate (Jessica West), Edith (Kiara Durbin) and Isabel (Ellie Kelly), the Sergeant of Police (Eric Oswald) and his goofy posse, Pirates of Penzance is a slapstick-filled night of entertainment for the entire family. Other daughters, pirates and constables include Hallie Mihalek, Tenley Stitzer, Mike Turle, Judah Callahan, Nathan Hill, John Holcepl Sr., Hazel Hutchins, Glen Johnston, Jennifer Matas, Jerry Schaber, David Sherman and Jim Wolf. The show is directed by Mavis Jennings, with Ron Jones serving as musical director and Kristian Korsgaard as choreographer. The producers for the show are Dana Harro and Gary Maher. One of the most well-known songs from "Pirates of Penzance" is I Am the Very Model of a Modern Major-General (Imagine this being sung very, very fast......) I am the very model of a modern Major-General In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral He is the very model of a modern Major-General In fact, when I know what is meant by "mamelon" and "ravelin" When I can tell at sight a Mauser rifle from a javelin When such affairs as sorties and surprises I'm more wary at And when I know precisely what is meant by "commissariat" When I have learnt what progress has been made in modern gunnery When I know more of tactics than a novice in a nunnery In short, when I've a smattering of elemental strategy Strategy, strategy, strategy, I got it You'll say a better Major-General has never sat a gee You'll say a better Major-General has never sat a gee You'll say a better Major-General has never sat a gee You'll say a better Major-General has never sat a gee For my military knowledge, though I'm plucky and adventury Has only been brought down to the beginning of the century But still, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral I am the very model of a modern Major-General But still, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral He is the very model of a modern Major-General! Make plans now to come here this song - and many others - in person!
