Ticket Info
About Gentleman Roger Goodman has every intention of living his life in a conventional way once he marries the wealthy Sarah Huffington... that is, until he overhears her telling her girlfriends how boring he is! The man Sarah really wants to marry is a dashing, daring pirate! Roger immediately buys a ship, recruits a crew and even hires a pirate tutor, Long John Sliver, to show him the ropes! Sliver bequeaths him a new, menacing name-Captain Blood, as well as an intimidating ship name and flag to match. In return, Roger must sail him to Treasure Island to pick up eight chests of gold dabloons. Meanwhile, Sarah has gone off the deep-end, as well. Knowing she won't find a pirate unless she becomes one, she makes herself into the Pirate Queen and quickly earns a notorious reputation for raiding ship after ship. Sarah's parents are also out on the high seas in their own ship. As luck would have it, they all congregate on Treasure Island, which is already occupied by the retired pirate Bluebeard and his crew.
