"Adventure Stage Chicago has set sail with a wondrous show, and see it ye must." -Chicago Sun-Times

"If you’re looking for a musical with a little whimsy, adventure, spook and rock n’roll, take your pirate-obsessed kid, no matter the weather outside, to this show." -Time Out Chicago

"[The] able cast stays in constant motion. Even scene changes are boisterous events, with the bustle of sail-hoisting and barrel-tossing accompanied by a pirate rock band's chanteys." - Chicago Reader

"Full of adventure and seasoned with ghosts providing a moral lesson, this production is the perfect 90-minute romp." -centerstagechicago

"A perfect afternoon of family entertainment...well worth your time and money." -steadstylechicago

show description

This rollicking new musical followed young cabin boy Jim Hawkins as he fought to survive on a mysterious island. Accompanied by the singing shenanigans of a raucous band of pirate ghosts, Jim raced to find notorious Captain Flint's fabled treasure before his mutinous shipmates stole the fortune for themselves. Faced with danger at every turn, Jim persisted on his quest armed with nothing but an old treasure map and an endless supply of courage. Recommended for ages 9 and up (4th thru 8th grades).
