Nichelle Nicols (c), Lieutent Uhura of the original
cast of Star Trek,
visits the set of U.S.S. Pinafore.
U.S.S. Pinafore was nominated for a Saturn Award for
Best Small Theatre Stage Production by the
Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films
James Jaeger and Jesse Merlin perform "The Merry Maiden and the TAR"
Synopsis
The
nineteenth century ironsides of the title has been fitted
with anti-gravitation gear and phasers set to kill! It takes
to the air in a brand-new version that is guaranteed to blast
you out of earth's atmosphere and send you to a solar system
filled with laughter and delight. The trivial antics of G&S's
veddy British lords and ladies seem far less trivial when
they're fighting for their lives against alien lizard men!
(Okay... possibly slightly more trivial, but twice the fun!)
Setup
One
set. Fourteen characters
Reviews
"It's
rare that such a bold and original concept is so professionally
executed."
Kerry
O'Quinn, founder of Starlog and Fangoria
Magazines
"I
don't want to spoil any jokes or gags because they are so lovely
and lively and fresh. Suffice to say you don't need to be a
fan of both or either genres – just someone who likes to
laugh – in order enjoy this silly, sexy romp."
The
Huffington Post
"One gigantically terrific
musical takeoff.The entire humanoid ensemble under Mullich's
ultimate skill function exceedingly well together."
