It's not exactly "Pirates of Penzance," but it's Roundabout Theatre's "Pirates! The Penzance Musical."
The limited run, starring David Hyde Pierce, Ramin Karimloo, Jinkx Monsoon, Samantha Williams and Nicholas Barasch is coming to a close soon, but not without pouring a bit more high-seas hijinks to the stage.
"Audiences have been loving it, we've kind of been like the little show that could, and all of a sudden, it's like we're packed houses," Barasch said.
"The show is so fun and lighthearted and I think its exactly what we need right now," Williams said.
For Barasch and Williams, who play Frederic and Mable, it's been a ride and the role of their lifetime.
"Frederic is the the character that most feels like me that I've ever played in my career, which has been super scary because, we have some similar traits, so that's been really vulnerable," Barasch said.
"And the singing from classical to jazz and getting to use both sides of my instrument and getting to sing in both styles, which I love so much," Williams said.
