WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Mischievous, magical, humorous and captivating, Pippin is the lively coming of age story of Charlemagne's oldest son. A surprise waits around every corner as Pippin wanders through the worlds of politics, love, and war before finding his true calling. Dazzling and imaginative with songs you'll remember -- "Magic to Do," "Corner of the Sky," and the audience sing-along "No Time at All" -- the musical is another fantastic tale from Stephen Schwartz, composer of Wicked and Godspell.
Winner of 6 Tony Awards.

Long before Princeton was seeking his purpose on Avenue Q, Pippin, the son of King Charlemagne, was looking for his purpose wherever he could find it. Now, audiences can once more find that young man in the acclaimed 1972 musical that bears his name, Pippin in a solid production at the Goodspeed Opera House in East Haddam, Connecticut. (The Goodspeed run also serves as the opening stop for the show's national tour.)
Pippin is technically set in the 8th Century, but Roger O. Hirson's book and Stephen Schwartz's score are often purposely anachronistic. The pair wanted contemporary teens to identify with Pippin's plight: He goes to war with men, to bed with women, and to revolutionary means t[...]
