The Pirate Queen Tickets Information
The Pirate Queen tickets are doorways into the wondrous and notorious life of sixteenth-century Irish sea captain Grace O'Malley. In her spectacular career, the chieftain also known as Granuaile commanded a flotilla of galleys and an army of 200 men in exuberant acts of piracy, mercenary work, and ultimately, military leadership during a crucial period of resistance against oppressive governments.
Before The Pirate Queen musical was even a glimmer in anyone's mind, O'Malley's biography, published a quarter-century ago, inspired great works of art across all media, from sculpture to documentaries, even achieving inclusion in Ireland school-children's curricula.
The Pirate Queen tickets transport audiences onto the high seas where its self-made high heroine tirelessly staked a claim to her kingdom, even whilst her contemporary, Queen Elizabeth of England staked her own, and in the process, made equally indelible contributions to social and political history.
But do not mistake her as one-dimensional for, through it all, and as The Pirate Queen musical makes abundantly clear, O'Malley was also a passionate lover and a devoted mother, both of which played heavily in her challenges as a great leader.
The stellar cast of The Pirate Queen Broadway is headed by Stephanie J. Block (Liza Minnelli in "The Boy from Oz") as the Queen of the seas herself and Linda Balgord ("La Cage Aux Folles", "Passion", "Cats") as the Queen of England.
The Pirate Queen tickets also boast:
- Marcus Chait, who originated the Wes Hightower role in Broadway's "Urban Cowboy", played opposite Academy award-winner Charlize Theron in the film "North Country", and was featured in Clint Eastwood's million-dollar Best Picture Oscar-winner "Million Dollar Baby";
- Jeff McCarty ("Urinetown", "Side Show", "Beauty and the Beast", "Smile", "Zorba");
- William Youmans, who was in the original Broadway casts of 5 Broadway hits - "Wicked", "Baz Luhrman's La Boheme", "Titanic", "Big River", and "Little Foxes" (opposite Elizabeth Taylor);
- And the young, but accomplished British actor Hadley Fraser.
Together, this titanic ticket makes The Pirate Queen tickets the crowning glory of modern Broadway theatre.
After testing the waters at the Cadillac Palace Theatre in Chicago, The Pirate Queen tickets set sail for New York, New York, where, starting in March, 2007, The Pirate Queen Broadway will commandeer the Hilton Theatre where audiences will be treated to a true life swashbuckling adventure of epic proportions.
