Pippin at Weathervane Playhouse

With a beautifully theatrical and emotional score by four-time Grammy winner, three-time Oscar winner, and musical theatre legend, Stephen Schwartz (composer of Wicked, Godspell, and Children of Eden), Pippin has been successfully produced on stages ranging from High School to Broadway, since 1972. Using the 9th-century medieval legend of Charlemagne’s son, Pippin, heir apparent to the Holy Roman Empire, the musical Pippin is a parable about a young man’s search for meaning and truth. He seeks it in the glories of the battlefield, the temptations of the flesh, and the intrigues of political power. In the end, though, Pippin finds that happiness lies not in extraordinary endeavors, but rather in the unextraordinary moments that happen every day.
