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.
Tickets: Online at www.ticketmaster.com or Box Office at (206) 625-1900.

Mayo Fiesta

Join PURE (people undergoing real experiences) Cirkus as they tell stories from
the land of sun and tequila through aerial dancing, unicycling jugglers and
suspended saints. Weaving music and theatre, this is a night that brings you
everything from the sardonic wit and powerful sound of Betty X to the breakcore
mastery of Naha. We start the celebration with another amazing display of fire
guided by the kaleidoscope of accordion, banjo and bass sounds of The Bad
Things.
