Pirate Queen...a mature review...

For some reason I have James Horner's scores from the "Titanic" stuck in my head....why you ask? Because the Pirate Queen's music totally ripped it off. I kept picturing good ol' Leo and Kate at the mast of the ship instead of Pirates...

And as much as I love Pirates....since I knew nothing of the play I was sourly disappointed. It was Riverdance at sea with hints of "Les Miz." The story was a good one...reeking of 16th century feminism and love in a political context. But...the plot and characterizations where sorely lacking....

AND you know there is a problem with a show when during the swash buckling themes my theater obsessed roommate and I are texting one another:

J: suckme@mycock.com

Theater obsessed roommate: Anything@mycoochiewoochie.com

J: Yeeeaah@yeahbitch.com

Theater obsessed roommate: Stopstealingmyshit@thelivingwhore.com

J:PS I am 5 and I throw a stick Foor yooou...Deerhoof

BUT...if you can get past the lame sword fights and the constant singing plot rather than song...you'll like Pirate Queen.
