“We are so fortunate to have been chosen to produce this magnificent musical that was composed by two giants in the theatre world,” said Sally Dietlein, HCT vice president and executive producer. “The Pirate Queen is a romanticized version of a true story about two powerful and revolutionary women who came together to bring peace to two warring countries: Queen Elizabeth I of England and Grace O’Malley of Ireland. The actresses in this piece are true athletes who must wear corsets and heavy costumes while singing a lyric soprano score or while swinging hefty swords. This is a must-see show.”

The production features locally-built orchestrations enhanced by A-list musicians from around the country, more than two miles of nautical rope artfully used to carry out a stylized nautical theme, authentic fast-paced Irish step dancing and real swords. The performers received dance training from Alan Scariff, a former member of the Irish dancing group Riverdance. They also endured a rigorous stage combat boot camp to practice their swordsmanship. The theatre brought in Queen Elizabeth’s costumes from the original Broadway production including a seven-foot, 53-pound masterpiece.
