VIDEO AUDITION

Before he wrote Wicked, there was Pippin! With an infectiously unforgettable score from four-time Grammy winner, three-time Oscar winner, 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 updated circus-inspired version of Pippin continues to captivate and appeal all over the world.
​
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, temptations, 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.
​​
*PLEASE NOTE*: Please be aware that PIPPIN contains mature themes, including war, simulated violence/death, implied intimacy, sexual innuendo, mental health, profanity, and discussions of suicide.
