With an infectiously unforgettable score from the four-time Grammy-winner, three-time Oscar-winner, and musical theatre giant Stephen Schwartz (Wicked, Godspell, Children Of Eden), "Pippin" has been one of the most popular musicals in the last 40 years. Sweeping the New York Awards circuit (TONY, Drama Desk, Drama League, Outer Critics Circle) in the 2013 revival, Pippin continues to captivate audiences throughout the world.
Heir to his father's throne, the young prince Pippin is in search of the secret to true happiness and fulfillment. He seeks it in the glories of the battlefield, in the arms of beautiful women and the intrigues of political power (after disposing of his father King Charlemagne the Great). In the end, though, Pippin finds that happiness lies not in extraordinary endeavors, but rather in the un-extraordinary moments of everyday life. A beautiful and timeless allegory.
