Be Afraid, Be Very Afraid

What do you get when you combine the bombastic shook of Les Miz and the scary footwork of Riverdance?

The Pirate Queen, stomping into Great White Way.....



And I quote:

THE PIRATE QUEEN is a spectacular musical adventure celebrating the legendary Irish Chieftain Grace O’Malley. Based on her real-life story, THE PIRATE QUEEN 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.
