The Man Whose Mother was a Pirate - The Musical

Inspired by Margaret Mahy’s book. Original score by Nino Raphael.

The Man Whose Mother was a Pirate – The Musical is a brand-new musical theatre voyage, with songs and sea-shanties crafted by Te Whanganui-a-Tara’s own Nino Raphael. Inspired by Margaret Mahy’s much-loved children’s tale and authorised by the author’s estate, this rollicking production breathes new wind and adventure into one of Aotearoa’s favourite stories.
