It is Feb. 29th as I write this, Frederic's 36th birthday, and what better way to celebrate it (as I do every four years) than to review the recording of his show "The Pirates of Penzance". Back in the summer of 1980, Joseph Papp and his Public Theatre presented a free production of "The Pirates of Penzance" in Central Park. Linda Ronstadt was the "big" name in the show, which included Kevin Kline, Estelle Parsons, George Rose, Rex Smith and Tony Azito.

I purchased this soundtrack while I was working for a theatre currently producing a version of "The Pirates of Penzance."
