| The Pirate Queen (Theatre) | comment |
The Pirate Queen is a stage musical by Claude-Michel Schönberg and Alain Boublil, who also wrote the musicals Les Misérables and Miss Saigon. It's based on the life of 16th century Irish chieftain, Gráinne, or "Grace" O'Malley. It debuted in Chicago in 2006, going into an unsuccessful Broadway run that ended after only 85 performances.It follows the life of Gráinne O'Malley, who's mainly called "Grace" throughout the musical, who dreams of becoming a pirate captain like her father, Dubhdara, but who is held back by her gender, since women are viewed as being bad luck on a ship. Grace successfully sneaks on board and distinguishes herself, also igniting a romance with Tiernan, a childhood friend, but the English, led by their new queen, Elizabeth, have their eye on Ireland, and Grace will soon have to make the ultimate choice: Freedom or duty. | |

Historical Hero Upgrade | |
| The Pirate Queen (Theatre) / int_3e8d9cd3 | comment |
Historical Hero Upgrade: Grace herself, given that, far from being the nationalist, feminist heroine she's portrayed as here, she was primarily interested in what she got out of whoever was in control of Ireland, and often made deals with English officials and used English laws to her advantage. Not that that would make her any different from other Irish leaders of her time. | |

Politically Incorrect Villain | |
| The Pirate Queen (Theatre) / int_729c69f3 | comment |
Politically Incorrect Villain: Both Bingham and Donal qualify, being virulent misogynists. Bingham in particular gets bonus points for VERY openly claiming that he would NEVER kneel before a woman...before realizing who he's talking to. | |

Good Parents | |
| The Pirate Queen (Theatre) / int_a30c287 | comment |
Good Parents: Dubhdara. Even though he seems at first to be a Fantasy-Forbidding Father, in the course of one song, he's totally won over by Grace's skills, talking about how proud he is of her and letting her stay on the ship. He hates giving her away in marriage to Donal and, at the end of the first act, he makes her chief in his place. | |

Pregnant Badass | |
| The Pirate Queen (Theatre) / int_dcbddebe | comment |
Pregnant Badass: Grace, particularly in the Broadway run where she kills multiple English soldiers IMMEDIATELY AFTER giving birth and then divorces Donal. This is (possible) Truth in Television: There is an oral legend that says that Gráinne nà Mháille gave birth during a battle, rising from her bed to fire on the invading force while berating her men for not being able to do anything on their own. | |
