The Critics Speak

To quote the Pirate King: “We’re not finished yet!” 

       You still have one more weekend to see Pirates of Penzance.  Huzzah!  Don’t miss what could be the production of the year!

       The accolades just keep pouring in…

       “When Mabel (Amanda Moon) and Fredrick (Andy Morales) sing their duets - I could listen to them sing all night and the next day and all night again” 
       JB – Indianapolis Patron

       “Not only can these people sing the often very difficult parts and make it look easy but they look and act the parts as well.”
       GD - Zionsville Patron

       “When you did that bit with man in the kilt (Adam Creviston) I thought it was the funniest bit without a word being spoken that I had ever seen.  Just brilliant!”
       JK – Indianapolis Patron

       “I liked the sword fights”
       KK – 6 year old Westfield Patron

       “The unexpected interactions with the audience and the orchestra leader were just hysterical”
       TF – Zionsville patron

       “Love Pirate King Luke McConnell as expected. Other leads a pleasure, too”

       “I liked the man in the dress (Howard Baetzhold)”
       GH – 7 year old Carmel Patron

       “He looks like a rubber man (BJ Bovin – Sergeant).  I don’t know how he does that stuff and when the Major General caught his Ping Pong Ball I thought I was going to lose it”
       DK – Westfield Patron

       “This was Jo Trackimas’ triumphant return to the stage!  I thought she was perfect as Ruth!”
       RB- Fishers Parton

       “I really loved everything about the show but your strong chorus really stood out.  Your men were so strong not only singing but their dancing was outstanding.  The unexpected Mega-mix at the end took my breath away.”

       Thank you!  Thank you for this.  Please bring it back soon, I could watch this Pirates ‘often’.”

"The first time I saw a production of Pirates of Penzance. I was a camper at the Interlochen National Music Camp. I fell in love with G&S operettas. I guess I assumed nobody could put on a better production, but I have to say that the Carmel Rep Theatre may have just done so". My daughter and I loved the show, the actors, the sets, the costumes. Wonderful job to all of you.

--M.C.; Noblesville, IN

"This is as good if not better production of Pirates of Penzance I have ever seen. The vocals are professional quality and the sets, costumes and make up are outstanding and the orchestra is one of the finest ever. I am going home right now to email all my friends to not miss this performance."

This is the American Premiere of EssGee's production for the 21st Century Premiere of Gilbert and Sullivan's The Pirates of Penzance. This musical is a comic opera in two acts, with music by Arthur Sullivan and libretto by W.S. Gilbert. The story concerns a young pirate who, having completed his 21st year, is released from apprenticeship to a band of tenderhearted pirates. He meets a daughter of a Major-General and the two young people fall instantly in love. The young pirate finds out he was born on the 29th of February, and so, technically, he only has a birthday each leap year. His apprenticeship indentures states that he remains apprenticed to the pirates until his 21st birthday, and so he must serve for another 63 years. Pirates was the fifth Gilbert and Sullivan collaboration and introduced the much-parodied Major-General’s Song.

Performances will be held at Clay Middle School (5150 East 126th Street, Carmel, IN 46033-9746).

Performance dates are as follows:

July 16-18, 2010
