Pippin! The Musical Comedy

Please not that there is a 2:00 matinee performance on Sunday, March 25th.  

Pippin is a gem of a Broadway musical that is not only a contemporary classic but also the play that made director choreographer Bob Fosse a famous name long before “Cabaret” and “All That Jazz.”

Depicted as a sort of vaudeville as seen through the eyes of a troupe of strolling minstrels, the story focuses on Prince Pippin, son of King Charlemagne and heir apparent to the Holy Roman Empire, an idealistic young man who longs to find a deep meaning to his life only to be thrust from one meaningless pursuit to another. A host of witty, pop-tinged songs provide the linchpins as he moves from adventure to adventure.
