ABOUT THE SHOW

A musical comedy told through song and dance, this ensemble cast of dazzling performers tells the tale of Pippin, a young prince who longs to find passion and adventure. Torn between loyalty to his father the king, his convictions to fight tyranny, and his pursuit of love, Pippin struggles to find something meaningful to do with his life. Highly relatable to the young emerging artists performing the show, Pippin explores the extraordinary journey of a young person reconciling whom he is while searching for how to commit himself to something he truly cares about.

"Schwatz’s score [is a] richly melodic mélange of pop and jazzier musical theater influence...The result is a combination of epic theater, burlesque and soulful spectacle."
