Pippin
The 5th Avenue Musical Theatre
Winner of four Tony Awards, Pippin is an electrifying, tongue-in-cheek fairytale that will dazzle audiences with a dynamic kaleidoscope of sights and sounds. Prince Pippin, son of Charlemagne, embarks upon a quest for true fulfillment, seeking his own corner of the sky. He relishes the glories of the battlefield, savors the temptations of the flesh and embroils himself in political intrigues. But neither war, sex, revolution nor domesticity can satisfy him --or so he thinks. Featuring such songs as "Magic to Do", "Morning Glow" and "Corner of the Sky", the vibrant, pop-rock score by Oscar winner Stephen Schwartz (Wicked, Godspell, Disney's Pocahontas) bursts with show-stopping spectacles and soaring ballads.
