PIPPIN Readies for Playhouse on the Square, 1/29-2/21

By:

Playhouse on the Square will stage the Tony-Award winning musical comedy, 'Pippin' from January 29 to February 21 at The Playhouse on the Square.

Winner of 5 Tony Awards, 'Pippin' is the lively coming of age story of King Charlemagne's oldest son. Featuring music from the award-winning composer of Wicked and Godspell, this dazzlingly colorful and imaginative tale first captivated audiences on Broadway and continues to appeal to the young-at-heart everywhere. Pippin longs to discover the secret of true happiness and fulfillment. After seeking it in the glories of the battlefield, The Temptations of the flesh, and the intrigues of political power, Pippin finds contentment in the simple pleasures of home and family. Join us as we have "Magic To Do" in the NEW Playhouse on the Square.

Music and Lyrics by Stephen Schwartz, Book by Roger O. Hirson
