Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schönberg's The Pirate Queen, the spectacular new musical from the authors of Les Misérables and Miss Saigon, comes to Broadway following a world premiere engagement in Chicago. Tony Award-winner Frank Galati directs.

The Pirate Queen is an epic musical adventure celebrating the legendary Irish Chieftain Grace O'Malley. Based on her real-life story, the musical tells of a compelling, inspirational woman; a heroine who led an extraordinary life as a pirate, chieftain, lover and mother in 16th Century Ireland. Commissioned and produced by Moya Doherty and John McColgan, the producers of Riverdance, this new musical combines classic storytelling and a sweeping score, with the powerful, vibrant traditions of Irish dance and song, to create a modern musical event that is both an historic romance and a timeless epic.

From the article:

"Q: What was your job before you start this one or what forced you to become a pirate?

A: Every government in the world is off our coasts. What is left for us? Nine years ago everyone in this town was stable and earn[ed] enough income from fishing. Now there is nothing. We have no way to make a living. We had to defend ourselves. We became watchmen of our coasts and took up our duty to protect the country. Don’t call us pirates. We are protectors."

Beyond this statement is a clear discussion of the logistics of piracy, its methods and its reasons. These are not privateers who kill entire crews for cargos of gold and jewels, nor are they drunken swashbucklers.

What would you do if it was your country?

Part the 1st: I receive a very excited email about the New Hope Chamber of Commerce Pirate Festival. I am, of course, very excited.

Part the 2nd: I get decked out in Pirate Gear that Saturday, ready to stalk the streets in search of booty.

Part the 3rd: Where are all the bloody pirates? None, not one! The staff of the Medieval Gallery simply do not count!

Part the 4th: I am sweaty and crabby, and desperately in need of food. I change out of the corseted awesomeness and into my Care Bears t-shirt, and have a lovely time, even without pillaging.

Yarr?
