THE Pirate Queen, the Broadway musical conceived and backed by Riverdance producers Moya Doherty and John McColgan, is still hanging in there at the Hilton Theatre despite bad reviews (totally unwarranted, trust us!), but interest in the show remains high.

This Thursday, May 31, look for The Pirate Queen cast to perform live on the Today show on NBC in the 9 a.m. hour. The cast will perform a special arrangement of "If I Said I Loved You/The Wedding Ring."

In other show news, Masterworks Broadway will release the original cast recording on July 3. For more, visit www.thepiratequeen.com.
