THE PIRATES OF FINANCE

The 2013 New York Musical Theatre Festival (NYMF) presents The Pirates of Finance a world premiere musical comedy written by Charles Veley with music by Sir Arthur Sullivan. Gary Slavin directs a cast of twelve including Lynn Craig*, Christopher de Angelis*, Preston Ellis*, Amber Nicole Guest*, Alex Krasser*, Janice Landry*, Heather Lundstedt, Carter Lynch*, David Macaluso*, Sydney Ransom, Deborah Jean Templin*,and Jacob Thompson*. Music Director Brenna Sage leads a band including John Licari (drums), Dwayne Beach (violin/viola), and Emily Croome (second keys).

When musical conductor Frederick Freemarket inherits his uncle's Wall Street investment company, he dreams of rescuing the world from economic doldrums. The company is worth twelve billion dollars – what could possibly go wrong? But golden dreams can hold hidden surprises, especially on Wall Street: love blossoms, tension mounts and spirits rise to a height of irrational exuberance that few can scale, before – in a classic Gilbert & Sullivan topsy-turvy twist – all ends in perfect harmony.
