Although his songs are written about her, Barrett has changed the lyrics so that she has no clue. When she finds out, Barrett must figure out what to do to save his...

Musical by R Eugene Jackson David Blackburn

5 m, 3 w, choruses
This lighthearted comic opera by Gilbert and Sullivan has enjoyed great audience appeal since it opened in 1878.

But Josephine is in love with Ralph, a common seaman,...
