“Gilbert and Sullivan is in my blood,” David Hyde Pierce, who is set to play the Major General (as well as W.S. Gilbert himself) in the upcoming Pirates! The Penzance Musical, told The Broadway Show. “Even as a little kid at summer camp, they would do a Gilbert and Sullivan every summer. So for years I've just been marinating in this stuff. It's not like I'm a fanatic, but I just love it. I love the music, I love the comedy of it, and the spin they're doing on this in particular makes me really excited about it.”
