Sasha Regan's award-winning All Male Company will dock at Wilton's Music Hall with HMS Pinafore from 16 March – 9th April 2022 for another nautical adventure!

Due to overwhelming demand and several sell-out runs, the much-loved All Male Company will down anchor carrying a diverse shipshape crew for this new look show. The company hopes to attract more shipmates from diverse backgrounds, particularly male falsettos, and will be running an online talent show later this year.

The three-week run follows their smash-hit Wilton’s and West End run of the All Male The Pirates of Penzance, followed by two hugely popular screenings on Stream.Theatre.

Sasha Regan’s burly sailors and winsome lasses will take you below deck during World War II in this inventive reimagining of Gilbert and Sullivan’s fourth collaboration and first blockbuster: H.M.S. Pinafore, or The Lass That Loved a Sailor. The Captain’s daughter, Josephine, falls for lower class sailor Ralph Rackstraw but her father wishes for her to marry the upstanding Sir Joseph Porter, First Lord of the Admiralty. Will Josephine follow her heart’s desire or will she honour her father’s wish? Find out in March!

The troops create a distraction from the goings-on above board. Expect plenty of mischief, mistaken identities and surprises on the high seas from a diverse crew of brawny Popeyes and their love interests.

With infectious tunes and a beautifully constructed libretto, this charming comic operetta deals with the age-old conundrum of love between social classes.

The piece is directed by Sasha Regan, with choreography by Lizzi Gee, design by Ryan Dawson-Laight, and lighting by Ben Bull. Casting is to be announced.
