What's next for Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schoenberg, the hitmakers whose credits include "Les Miserables" and "Miss Saigon"?

"The Pirate Queen," a new musical about Grace O'Malley, a 16th-century Irish sea captain's daughter who became a seafarer, trader, pirate and chieftain.

Featuring a Boublil-Schoenberg score and drawing on Irish song and dance, the show, directed by Frank Galati (a winner of two Tony Awards for "The Grapes of Wrath") is to preview in Chicago at the Cadillac Palace Theater from Oct. 3 through Nov. 26, 2006, and open on Broadway in the 2006-07 season.
