(Sure, maybe The Pirates of Penzance should be celebrated on February 29th, but that’s hard to come by.) This delightful musical follows Frederic, a pirate apprentice, who is released from his apprenticeship and promptly falls in love with a general’s daughter. However, their love becomes complicated when Frederic learns that he was born on a leap day and so he owes another 63 years of service to the pirates! How will he be faithful to his oath and his love?
How to commemorate:
- Sing all the songs! (spotify)
