ABOUT THE SHOW

Learning the true meaning of glory, love and war, and daring to chase the extraordinary.

With an unforgettable score from four-time Grammy winner, three-time Oscar winner and musical theatre giant, Stephen Schwartz (the composer of WICKED and GODSPELL) and book by Roger O.Hirson, Pippin is now a contemporary classic. Originally running on Broadway from 1972-75 winning 5 Tonys, the revival in 2013 also won 4 Tony Awards. 

Pippin is a coming of age story of one young man's journey to be extraordinary and quest in search of true happiness. The restless prince and eldest son of Charlemagne, Pippin longs for a life of significance. Led by the Leading Player and the mysterious troupe, Pippin’s adventures explore the inglorious side of war, temptations of the flesh, the intrigues of revolution and the power of being King, only to discover none of it is fulfilling. It is only when he encounters a widow and her young child that Pippin finally experiences true love. However, the simplicity of this lifestyle soon becomes claustrophobic and the yearning for something more calls in Pippin again. 

Pippin finds that happiness lies not in extraordinary endeavors, but rather in the unextraordinary moments that happen every day.
