JAXX Theatricals Adds Three Performances of PIPPIN in July
Additional performances will take place on July 11th, 12th & 13th.
PiPPiN will extend for three additional performances on July 11th, 12th & 13th at JAXX THEATRICALS. All shows at 8PM.
Book by Roger O. Hirson with music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz, PiPPiN is the 2013 Tony Award Winner for Best Musical Revival. The show is Directed & Choreographed by Jeremy Lucas (SDC), Artistic Director of Jaxx Theatricals, United States Cultural Arts Envoy and last year’s Stage Raw Award Winner for Direction and LA Drama Critics Circle Award Nominee for Choreography for Andrew Lippa’s Wild Party. Mr. Lucas has also been nominated for the Artistic Director Achievement Award as well as an Ovation Award for Chicago, the Musical starring Tony-Award Winner, Katrina Lenk as Velma Kelly. The production is Music Directed & Conducted by Dr. James Lent and Produced by JD Morabito.
With an infectiously unforgettable score from four-time Grammy winner, three-time Oscar winner and musical theatre giant, Stephen Schwartz, PiPPiN is the story of one young man's journey to be extraordinary. Winner of four 2013 Tony Awards including Best Musical Revival, this reimagined Hollywood version of PiPPiN will captivate and appeal to the young at heart as well as all who came to Hollywood looking for their big break. Heir to the Frankish throne, the young prince Pippin is in search of the secret to true happiness and fulfillment. He seeks it in the glories of the battlefield, the temptations of the flesh and the intrigues of political power (after disposing of his father, King Charlemagne, the Great). In the end, though, Pippin finds that happiness lies not in extraordinary endeavors, but rather in the unextraordinary moments that happen every day.
