The Story |
Once upon a time, the young prince
Pippin 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. This hip, tongue-in-cheek, anachronistic fairy tale
captivated Broadway audiences and continues to appeal to the young at
heart everywhere (the show has become a staple on high school and college
campuses). The energetic pop-influenced score by three-time Oscar®-winning
composer/lyricist Stephen Schwartz (“Godspell,” “Children
of Eden” and the animated films “Pocahontas,” “The
Hunchback of Notre Dame” and “The Prince of Egypt”)
bursts with one show stopping number after another, from soaring ballads
to infectious dance numbers. A splashy, dance-driven spectacle, which
includes some of the most brilliant staging in Broadway history. |
