All aboard HMS Pinnafore for this hilarious revival of Gilvert & Sulivan's nautical love triange. 

Join Captain Corcoran and his daughter Josephine as she faces a battle between duty and love on the high seas.  While her father makes plans for her to tie the knot with the suitably ranked First Lord of the Admiralty, Josephine has romantic ideas of her own.  And after falling for lowly deckhand Ralph, the loved-up pair makes plans to elope.  That is, until a surprise revelation rocks the boat.
