‘Pirates of Penzance makes a comeback to the Blue Mountains’

“The Pirates of Penzance” is a beloved musical that follows the story of Frederic, a young man who is set to be released from his apprenticeship with a group of pirates as he turns 21. However, there is a twist – Frederic was born on February 29 during a leap year, meaning he technically only has a birthday every four years. This means that according to his indenture papers, he must remain with the pirates for another 63 years.

Despite this obstacle, Frederic falls in love with Mabel, the daughter of a Major-General, and she promises to wait for him. The show follows their love story and Frederic’s attempts to navigate his unusual situation.

“The Pirates of Penzance” is a charming tale of love, loyalty, and perseverance that has captured the hearts of audiences for years. With memorable songs and hilarious moments, it is a musical that continues to delight both young and old.
