Gilbert and Sullivan's most popular songs spun into an hilarious new modern story. There is love across the social barriers, people not being who they seem to be, etc -but this time it is about a Franchise King - also known as the Corporate Pieman of Penzance who is hoping that his daughter will marry into British aristocracy.
Alas a penniless port falls in love with her her first.
Includes music from Pirates, HMS Pinafore, The Mikado, Iolanthe, Trial by Jury and The Gondoliers.
