Essgee's The Pirates of Penzance!
We know the tale. Young Frederick has been enslaved as a youth to the Pirate King and his band. Noble as he is, he finishes his apprenticeship at 21yrs of age and proudly leaves their throng to pursue none other than love.
Yet the contract he is under states he must remain with the crew until he in 21yrs old - unfortunatelyhis life is a paradox as he is born on February the 29th! A rather muture 5yr old Frederick must win over his love's heart and her fathers (The Major General) whilst maintaining his sense of duty to his family of pirates and setting them all up with the Major Generals daughters. Because they love the queen.
