Pirates!

I am wondering if the writer of the Boston Globe review stayed until the final curtain of the opening night performance. In all my years of attending theater, I have never shared such a fun evening during which the audience was fully engaged each moment with the very talented actors. Both acts flew by and most of the audience stood and applauded at the end. I am well acquainted with the original "Pirates of Penzance" and Gilbert and Sullivan's work. This was pure happiness and enjoyment. At the after party, guests were singing and dancing the praises of Pirates! Several actors mentioned to me that it is rare for them to have such a synergy with the house. They simply fed off of the excitement and it fueled them. I cannot wait to see this show at the Huntington a second time, and I recommend it to anybody who has a sense of humor, likes to laugh, appreciates witty writing, articulate delivery of lines, excellent singing and fabulous dancing.
