Gilbert and Sullivan’s H.M.S. Pinafore
Main Stage At Jay and Linda Grunin Center for the Arts 1 College Dr, Toms River, NJ, United StatesGilbert and Sullivan’s wildly popular operetta H.M.S. Pinafore has delighted audiences with a nautically tinged story of star-crossed lovers. The gentlemanly Captain Corcoran of the good ship Pinafore has a daughter, Josephine, who is in love with a lowly but gallant sailor named Ralph “Rafe” Rackstraw. The Captain forbids the marriage, wanting to match Josephine instead with the well-bred Sir Joseph, First Lord of the Admiralty. In the meantime, the Captain finds himself in nearly the same position as his daughter: his former nanny, Little Buttercup, falls in love with him, but he hesitates to reciprocate due to his higher social rank. The whole situation is turned on its head when Little Buttercup reveals a game-changing secret she has kept for decades. Come see the fully costumed and fully orchestrated Jersey Shore Light Opera production as traditionally staged and newly produced.
