Gilbert and Sullivan's The Pirates of Penzance
March 18-20, 25-27 at Will Rice College, Rice University.
THANK YOU!!!!
The 2004 RLOS Production of Pirates of Penzance exceeded all expectations. A huge thank you to everyone who made this production what many have called "the best show ever done at Rice!"
Over 600 satisfied audience members! Some of what they've had to say:
"We enjoyed it even more than the Broadway production.
"College productions rarely offer this quality of musical and thespian performances."
"Better than the Chicago [Lyric Opera] one."
"The choral numbers were especially beautiful."
"Easily the best show I've ever seen at Rice."
"The best Gilbert & Sullivan show I've seen."
"I have never laughed so hard in a theater."
"What an absolutely amazing show."
"WOW!"
"My laughing muscles are still sore."
"It was the most amazing show I have seen at Rice. Wow!"
"To say it was GREAT is a bit of an understatement."
"It truly was a fantastic show!"
