The Pirate Queen

Pirates. Irish dancing. Queen Elizabeth I. Recorders. MOM?! This week, Paul and Jill examine the multi-million dollar flop that is Claude-Michel Schönberg and Alain Boublil’s The Pirate Queen. This swashbuckling Irish epic stars Stephanie J. Block as Gráinne/Grace O'Malley, with music by the Les Mis duo themselves, all directed by Frank Galati. Our adventurous, sea-faring team asks deep, soulful questions like: what’s Michael Flatley up to lately? Does he want to hang out? How awesome is Irish dancing? And whose sapphically satisfying idea was it to have Stephanie J. Block run around this stage in period dress while wielding a sword?
