they sang frequently (and generally in tune)
but decided that they should settle down -
after letting fate decide their future brides
Chris Leach and Georgia
And, as happens only in musical theatre
they ended up briefly happy -
"Just the very girl I wanted"
Lindsay and Marion
firstly, a duke, his duchess, their daughter and private drum
come to find the prospective King of Barataria and
resolved to "never never never go to sea again"
Laurence, Derek, Jennifer and Angela
And then a grand inquisitor who
"stole the prince and carried him here"
but needed some assistance to find him
Chris Whelan
and potential Queen
"Ah well beloved"
Laurence and Jennifer
And the complications are just beginning!
The reviews for the 2005 show were good (the singing was given top marks) and the audiences were appreciative; now the planning starts for next year.
