Once upon a time, a young prince longed to discover the secret of true happiness and fulfillment. He sought 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, he found it in the simple pleasures of home and family.

The energetic pop-influenced score by three-time Oscar-winning composer/lyricist Stephen Schwartz ("Godspell", "Children of Eden", "Wicked", and the animated films "Pocahontas", "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" and "The Prince of Egypt") bursts with one showstopping number after another, from soaring ballads to infectious dance numbers.
Featuring a strong ensemble cast and a show-stealing song-and-dance narrator, "Pippin" is equally effective as an intimate, black-box production (as envisioned by the authors) or as original director/choreographer Bob Fosse’s splashy, dance-driven spectacle, which included some of the most brilliant staging in Broadway history.
