Stage Review: Savoyards' 'Pirates of Penzance' enjoyable

Post Gazette: "The pleasures of the G&S comic operettas are divided pretty equally between G and S: on the one hand, W.S. Gilbert's intricate, witty rhymes, lyrics and plot, and on the other, Arthur Sullivan's rich melodies and varied interplay of solos, small groups and chorus. There's also the parody and wry commentary that sharpen occasionally into genial satire, which are shared by both words and music, as well as the staging that brings them to life."
