PIRATEScover

Pirates of Penzance director Emily Trudeau says that, after some difficult decisions, she is pleased to announce her cast. I was at a board meeting in the green room on her second night of auditions and can vouch for the fact that it must have been tough for her. It was soprano city in there and everyone sounded fantastic.

Pirates is starting early with rehearsals and promises to be a great show. Without further ado, here’s Emily’s cast, featuring LOTS of first-time Hole-in-the-Wallers, which we LOVE:

As The Pirate King – Hal Chernoff
