The Pirate King is an exaggerated caricature of a swashbuckling villain who views his pirate lifestyle as a deeply moral and noble calling compared to the corrupt politicians on dry land.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🎹 Thoughts From the Bench: I didn't know this adaptation\/rework existed until recently! A fun twist on one of the most well-trod operettas - I've subbed as a rehearsal pianist for a couple productions of Pirates over the years and have played some of the hits a whole bunch of times, so it's funny to be cruising through familiar territory only to be suddenly hit with some modern musical theater walking bass and comping. I should go record the parallel 'original' versions for comparison, super fun project.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tuxedo Tracks","offers":[{"title":"Standard Unlock","offer_id":54483762446702,"sku":null,"price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Founding Sponsor","offer_id":54483762479470,"sku":null,"price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/2726\/1550\/files\/Musical_Theater_Thumbnail.png?v=1780752030","url":"https:\/\/tuxedotracks.com\/products\/mt-0025-cm","provider":"Tuxedo Tracks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
