Based upon the novel Grania—She King of the Irish Seas by Morgan Llywelyn
The real-life story of the legendary Irish pirate chieftain, Grace O’Malley, who led an extraordinary life as a pirate, chieftain, lover and mother in 16th Century Ireland.
The Pirate Queen combines classic storytelling and a sweeping score, with the powerful, vibrant
traditions of Irish dance and song, to create a modern musical event that is both an historic romance and a
timeless epic.
Audition Preparation Suggestions for The Pirate Queen
The music "blends pop, rock, musical theatre and Irish music". Casting calls have requested "versatile singers".
Casting calls have requested "excellent dancers who sing well, of all shapes and sizes, to comprise the ensemble and understudy the principals in THE PIRATE QUEEN. Seeking dancers who are strong in modern, ballet and Broadway styles. Irish steppers and acrobatics are a plus (but not a substitution for the aforementioned requisites). Dancers of all races and ethnic backgrounds are encouraged to attend this call." |
