Cast announced for new production of Sasha Regan’s award-winning all-male THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE

Following critically acclaimed highly successful all-male productions of H.M.S. Pinafore and The Mikado, Sasha Regan returns to London’s Wilton's Music Hall from 29 October-23 November with a new production of her award-winning all-male production of Gilbert and Sullivan’s The Pirates of Penzance.

The production will also tour to Theatre Royal Winchester (8-12 October), Cambridge Arts Theatre (14-19 October), and Theatre Royal Bath (2-7 December).

Sasha Regan’s original All-Male G&S production has now been winning awards and playing to sold out houses around the world for 15 years. Fast and funny and packed with wit and musical excellence, this is the tale of Frederic, apprenticed in error to a band of tender-hearted, orphaned pirates. His plans to marry are thrown into disarray when it is discovered that he was born on the 29 February, and won’t come of age until he is 84!

The Pirates of Penzance was an immediate triumph, and remains one of Gilbert and Sullvan’s most popular and successful works. Sasha Regan’s extraordinary production adds another delicious twist to this musical classic. Regan’s idea to transform these much-loved classics into all-male productions stems from her own experience performing Gilbert and Sullivan at a single-sex school. Her shows are renowned for playing on the unique humour it creates.

The cast includes Cameron McAllister (Back to the Future, West End) as Frederic, Luke Garner-Greene (recent graduate) as Mabel, Lewis Kennedy (Sasha Regan’s All-Male The Mikado) as Sergeant of Police, David McKechnie (Standing at the Sky’s Edge, West End) as Major General, Tom Newland (recent graduate) as Pirate King, and Robert Wilkes (Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, UK tour) as Ruth, with Thomas Griffths as Samuel, Joe Henry, Kirwan Kaanan, Thomas Alsop Aaron Dean as Sisters, and an ensemble featuring Joshua Molyneux, Patrick Cook, Samuel John Taylor, Alfie French, Boaz Chad, and Davo Storey.

The creative team includes director Sasha Regan, designer Robyn Wilson Owen, choreographer Lizzi Gee, lighting designer Ben Bull, musical director Ioannis Giannopoulos, musical supervisor Richard Baker, and casting director Adam Brahm.
