The multi-talented Jinkx Monsoon<\/a>, currently wowing audiences in her annual Holiday Extravaganza with BenDeLaCreme<\/a>, will return to Broadway next Spring with top billing as Ruth in Pirates! The Penzance Musical<\/em><\/strong>, a reimagined, lovingly adapted production of The Pirates of Penzance<\/em>. She joins the previously announced cast of Ramin Karimloo<\/strong> (Pirate King) and David Hyde Pierce<\/strong> (Gilbert\/Major General Stanley). After breaking box office records and making history as the first drag queen to play Matron \u201cMama\u201d Morton in Chicago<\/em>, this marks Jinkx’s first Tony-eligible role and first time originating a role on Broadway.<\/p>\n

In this jazzy take on the Gilbert & Sullivan classic, a pirate ship docks in New Orleans in this
outrageously clever romp sizzling with Caribbean rhythms and French Quarter flair. With the tongue-twisting Major-General, the rabble-rousing Pirate King, newly imagined young lovers, daring daughters, footloose pirates and fleet-footed police, there’s a shipload of musical comedy delights on board to dazzle first-timers and G&S aficionados alike.<\/p>\n
