This new musical offers a fresh take on the famous story by Robert Louis Stevenson. Set to a thrilling musical score and full of action, adventure and excitement, treasure hungry pirates and mutinous crew battle to discover the coveted Isle of Treasure. Bored by his mundane life at the Admiral Benbow Inn, and entranced by the mysterious Captain Billy Bones and his wild seafaring tales, young Jim Hawkins yearns for a life of adventure. His wish is soon granted as members of the infamous Captain Flint crew pursue Bones and his hidden treasure map. When Bones dies in a struggle for the map, Jim narrowly escapes with his life and Bones' prize possession. With a sturdy crew in place led by Long John Silver, and with Jim under the protection of a doctor, a nobleman and a stoic ship's captain, they set sail in search of their fortunes. As greed escalates, mutiny threatens and loyalties are forever broken. Armed and hungry for the treasure, the camps arrive where "X" marks the spot. Will they find the treasure? And if so, at what cost? Rep audiences will be the first to find out!
