HMS Pinafore

 

 

'HMS Pinafore' was directed by Norman Yemm and was performed at the Whitehorse Centre from the 1st - 9th October 1999.  As one of Gilbert and Sullivan's most loved works since its opening success in 1878, Pinafore continues to draw a crowd.  This production was colourful, lively and memorable thanks to strong principle performances and stunning choreography.  This was verified by the ten Lyrebird Award nominations that this production received.  'HMS Pinafore' won the Lyrebird Award for Best Production - Musical for 1999.  Check out the other awards won by this production
