H.M.O. Pinafore

In one act, with a cast of five: the stirring tale of a working stiff who confronts his health insurance company and demands to know why the medicine for his (presumably fatal) disease isn't covered. A gun is drawn. A secret codicil is promulgated. A SWAT team is summoned. Love songs--of a sort--are sung. "Virtue is triumphant only in theatrical performances."

With all new lyrics set to songs from The Mikado, The Pirates of Penzance, and H.M.S. Pinafore.

By Ellis Weiner (lyrics) and Andy Guerdat (libretto).
