Our 78th production and the eigth time we've produced "HMS Pinafore". Unusually this was performed without "Trial By Jury" (for just the second time).
- H.M.S. Pinafore; or, The Lass That Loved a Sailor first opened at the Opera Comique in London, on 25 May 1878 and ran for 571 performances, which was the second-longest run of any musical theatre piece up to that time. H.M.S. Pinafore was Gilbert and Sullivan's fourth operatic collaboration and their first international sensation.
