⭐ CAMERON MCALLISTER, LUKE GARNER-GREENE, LEWIS KENNEDY, DAVID MCKECHNIE, TOM NEWLAND, ROBERT WILKES & MORE ANNOUNCED FOR ALL-MALE THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE ⭐
Following critically acclaimed highly successful all-male productions of H.M.S. Pinafore and The Mikado, Sasha Regan returns to London’s Wilton’s Music Hall – the only surviving Grand Music Hall in the world – with a new production of her award-winning all-male production of Gilbert and Sullivan’s THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE.
The production will star Cameron McAllister as Frederick, Luke Garner-Greene as Mabel, Lewis Kennedy as Sergeant of Police, David McKechnie as Major General, Tom Newland as Pirate King and Robert Wilkes as Ruth.
Also starring Thomas Griffths as Samuel, Joe Henry, Kiran Kaanan, Thomas Alsop and Aaron Dean as Sisters. Featuring Joshua Molyneux, Patrick Cook, Samuel John Taylor, Alfie French, Boaz Chad and Davo Storey.
Sasha Regan’s original All-Male G&S production has now been winning awards and playing to sold out houses around the world for 15 years. Fast and funny and packed with wit and musical excellence, this is the tale of Frederic, apprenticed in error to a band of tender-hearted, orphaned pirates. His plans to marry are thrown into disarray when it is discovered that he was born on the 29th of February, and won’t come of age until he is 84!
THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE was an immediate triumph, and remains one of Gilbert and Sullvan’s most popular and successful works. Sasha Regan’s extraordinary production adds another delicious twist to this musical classic. Regan’s idea to transform these much-loved classics into all-male productions stems from her own experience performing Gilbert and Sullivan at a single-sex school. Her shows are renowned for playing on the unique humour it creates.
THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE will be directed by Sasha Regan, design by Robyn Wilson Owen, with choreography by Lizzi Gee, lighting design by Ben Bull, musical direction by Ioannis Giannopoulos, musical supervision by Richard Baker, associate choreographer Lee Greenaway, casting by Adam Brahm and produced by Regan De Wynter Williams.
THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE will run at Wilton’s Music Hall from 29th October – 23rd November 2024. It will also tour to Theatre Royal Winchester from 8th – 12th October, Cambridge Arts Theatre 14th – 19th October and Theatre Royal Bath from 2nd – 7th December, with tickets are on sale now.
