Louisa May Alcott’s classic novel of the March sisters is beloved by generations of readers.

They may differ in their ideas of what it means to be a woman, but each of their journeys poses the same universal question: How do you find your own path?

Set sail with this classic musical comedy that boasts one of the most famous patter songs in musical theater history. Since its founding in 1974, the company, The New York Gilbert & Sullivan Players, has presented over 2,000 performances throughout the United States. This tale features a band of tender-hearted pirates celebrating the coming of age of Frederic, mistakenly apprenticed to the pirates until his 21st birthday. A leap year snag threatens to keep him apprenticed to the pirates for life! Throw in a bevy of beauties, a brash Pirate King, the delightfully stuffy Major-General Stanley and you’ve got what The New York Times calls, “An endearing production with high musical standards and spirited performances.” Your Connections Club price is just $40 per person, due at reservation.
