I recently caught a preview of The Pirate Queen. If you're a lover of Les Miz (which I recently saw again), you'll definitely enjoy this show. Let me start by saying the costumes and wigs are absolutely breathtaking...breathtaking...BREATHTAKING! The show went off without a hiccup, which is very commendable for the first week of previews as there are so many moving parts and lots of action going on. The scenery is lovely as well. Did I mention the special effects?
Stephanie J. Block is wonderful in the role of Grace O'Malley. She IS the character. SJB has a gorgeous voice and is in practically every scene. She's truly an athlete climbing and fighting with blood, sweat and tears (if you've seen her, you know what I'm talking about). She brings so much emotion to her performance that you could feel her pain. Hadley Fraser (what rock did he come out from under??!!!) has one of the most beautiful male voices I have ever heard in my life. May I also say that seeing Linda Balgord's Queen Elizabeth is worth the price of admission alone. A truly incredible actress...the epitome of the perfect queen! The huge ensemble is worth mentioning as well. I thought the dancing was flawless. It's like Riverdance, only you don't yawn. If you like pecs, this show's for you. These pirate dudes are amazing. I think I need to go work out more and get a tan. Ha!
The music and vocals are so beautiful that I really hope a CD is planned to come out soon. A very epic tale that I hope you all get the chance to see.

"I'm learning to dig deep down inside and find the truth within myself and put that out. I think what we identify with in popular music more than anything else is when someone just shares a truth that we can relate to. That's what I'm searching for in my music." - Ron Bohmer
"I broke the boundaries. It wasn't cool to be in plays- especially if you were in sports & I was in both." - Ashton Kutcher
