Jinkx Monsoon, David Hyde Pierce and Ramin Karimloo strum their washboards on stage at the 2025 Tony Awards on Sunday (June 8) at Radio City Music Hall in New York City.

Also hitting the stage for the performance from the Pirates! cast include Preston Truman Boyd, Samantha Williams and Nicholas Barasch, among others.

Here’s a synopsis of the musical revival: Gilbert & Sullivan’s pirate ship docks in New Orleans in this jazzy-bluesy vision of the crowd-pleasing classic, in an outrageously clever romp sizzling with Caribbean rhythms and French Quarter flair. With a tongue-twisting Major General (Pierce), a rabble-rousing Pirate King (Karimloo), romance, swordplay, wordplay, and off-the-charts fun, there’s a shipload of musical comedy delights on board to dazzle first-timers and G&S aficionados alike.

Pirates is running on Broadway through July 27. Get tickets now!
