“H.M.S. Pinafore”: U-M Gilbert and Sullivan Society
April 3–6. This accomplished town-and-gown company performs one of Gilbert and Sullivan’s best-known comic operettas, also known as The Lass Who Loved a Sailor. Aboard the Pinafore, the captain’s daughter moons for a poor but honest sailor. Her father won’t abide a marriage with a common deckhand, but in time the lovers predictably find bliss. The score includes “We Sail the Ocean Blue,” “I’m Called Little Buttercup,” & other memorable songs. 8 p.m. (Thurs.–Sat.) & 2 p.m. (Sat. & Sun.), Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre, Michigan League. Tickets $30 (seniors, $27; students with ID, $15) in advance at the Michigan League Ticket Office, mutotix.umich.edu, and at the door. (734) 763–8587.
