Ogden, Utah-- Good Company Theatre is thrilled to partner with the Ogden Amphitheater and

Chamber Orchestra Ogden to produce the musical Pirated! by celebrated Utah musical theatre

mainstay Jim Christian. The show is a hilarious romp that turns the Gilbert and Sullivan musical 

The Pirates of Penzance on its head.

 

Set in the 1930s just as sound is making its way into motion pictures, the story centers on

a tyrannical film director caught between eras. His cast is made up of silent stars that look the part but

sound a mess. So, he hires a group of camera unready vocalists to dub over their voices. Soon the two

groups clash, and the production turns unwieldy as the director struggles to keep his shoot from

careening out of control.

 

"Since the beginning, we've wanted GCT to host off-site productions," explains Good Company Theatre Co-Director Alicia Washington. "We're excited to be working with Ogden Amphitheater to realize such a fantastic musical."

 

"Pirated! is a complete musical theatre experience," states GCT Co-Director Camille Washington. "From the opening number the show is funny and charming, the music is fantastic, and the story is great for people of all ages."

 

 

Pirated! runs August 13, 15, 18, 19, 20, and 22 at 8pm at the Ogden Amphitheater. Gates open at

7pm. Tickets are $15 for general admission, and $20 for reserved. They can be purchased in advance

at goodcotheatre.com or at the door before each performance. This show is recommended for ages 7

and up. Runtime: 120 minutes with a 15-minute intermission.
