"The Pirate Queen" is a new musical by the creators of Les Miserables and the producers of Riverdance.
A strange combination that was dictated by demographics it seems. Apparently, when you make a Venn diagram that combines the fans of both shows, the intersect point is massive. This is an example of corporate mathematical analysis leading to artistic results.
I don't consider myself to be a part of the 'intersect' group. I thought Les Miz was brilliant.... but I strongly believe that Michael Flatley and his Riverdance crew should be de-legged.
Anyways.
My parents were in town and we caught this show.
I'm honestly still not sure what it's about, but it wasn't what I thought.
First, I expeceted to see people in eyepatches singing Freddy Mercury songs. Nope.
Then, I expected at least one or two "Aaarghs". Nope.
Not even a single peg leg. Not a single pirate of any consequence.
Just a bunch of songs in minor keys. Suddenly everyone starts Riverdancing.
What the fuck?
