A synopsis reads:

Based on the real-life story of history’s Grace O’Malley – an Irish Chieftain and notorious pirate – The Pirate Queen is an adventure chronicling the compelling, inspiring heroine who led an extraordinary life as a rogue, lover and mother in 16th century Ireland.

In order to protect her people and save her one true love, O’Malley must confront the one woman more powerful than her — her fierce rival, Queen Elizabeth I of England.

The Pirate Queen features music from Claude-Michel Schönberg, lyrics by Alain Boublil, Richard Maltby, Jr. and John Dempsey and a book by Alain Boublil, Claude-Michel Schönberg and Richard Maltby, Jr.
