PIPPIN

PRESS RELEASE

How far would you go to make your life extraordinary?

At the height of the Great Depression, an out-of-work vaudeville performer is looking back on his life. Alone in the attic of the abandoned theater he used to perform in, he reflects on what he has learned and tries to find the strength to go on after experiencing unimaginable loss. The echoes of stories from his past come to life around him as he processes his grief. He finds parallels between his life and the story of Prince Pippin.

Experience this bold re-imagining of Stephen Schwartz and Bob Fosse’s groundbreaking Tony Award winning musical, PIPPIN. Join us for an unforgettable evening of theatre where you will learn what it truly takes to make life “Extraordinary.” Featuring all of your favorite songs, including “Magic To Do,” “Simple Joys,” “Corner of the Sky,” and “No Time At All.”
