Theo Ending Originally Conceived In 1998 by Mitch Sebastian
With an infectiously unforgettable score by four‑time Grammy winner, three‑time Oscar winner, and musical theatre giant Stephen Schwartz, Pippin follows a young man’s quest to become extraordinary. This Tony Award–winning, circus‑inspired revival traces Prince Pippin’s search for true happiness as he chases glory in battle, indulges in temptation and tests the pull of political power. In the end, he learns that joy lives not in grand achievements but in the small, everyday moments that give life meaning.
This production contains adult themes and language and representations of violence and war.
