National Touring Production of Broadway's PIPPIN at the Grand!

By: Dec. 02, 2016

The Grand 1894 Opera House presents the acclaimed Broadway musical revival of PIPPIN, performed by the National Touring Company, on Sunday, January 29, 2017 at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m.

Director Diane Paulus' new, circus-inspired production of Pippin features an extraordinary troupe of high-flying circus acrobats, magical illusions, accomplished acting, singing, and dancing, and soaring songs from Stephen Schwartz, composer of Wicked. These combined resources electrify the tale of a young prince who longs to find passion and adventure in his life. Said the Boston Herald: "The audience gets the musical story of a young man's search for meaning, and a side show of Cirque du Soleil to boot." Winner of four 2013 Tony Awards® including Best Musical Revival, this unforgettable new production has been hailed by audiences and critics alike as "an eye-popping, jaw-dropping extravaganza" (NY1). Rave reviews have called the production an enchanting theatrical experience for a new generation of youthful audiences and for the kid in all of us! This production is sponsored in part by galveston.com & company.

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, The Grand 1894 Opera House is located at 2020 Postoffice Street in Galveston's historic downtown Cultural Arts District and is recognized as "The Official Opera House of the State of Texas."
