Synopsis: Freely adapted from the novel by Robert Louis Stevenson, excitement runs high in this musical version of a favorite childhood adventure story. Stevenson’s thrilling tale of pirates, treasure maps, mutiny on the high seas and pieces of eight follows Jim Hawkins, an ordinary youth, drawn into a dangerous race for buried treasure against the treacherous Long John Silver. As the author himself wrote, “If this don’t fetch the kids, why, they have gone rotten since my day.”
