Join us this for a dazzling, genre-bending musical adventure that asks what it means to live a truly extraordinary life. With magic, mystery, and a theatrical troupe eager to tell a story full of passion, purpose, and unexpected turns, this production will lead you down a path of self-discovery—one that’s as entertaining as it is thought-provoking. Stay tuned… the spotlight’s almost ready.

With an infectiously unforgettable score from four-time Grammy winner, three-time Oscar winner, and musical theatre giant Stephen Schwartz, Pippin tells the story of a young prince on a quest to be extraordinary. Winner of four 2013 Tony Awards including Best Musical Revival, this circus-inspired reimagining continues to captivate audiences around the world. As heir to the Frankish throne, Pippin searches for meaning in battle, pleasure, and political power—even going so far as to overthrow his father, King Charlemagne. Ultimately, he discovers that true happiness is found not in grand achievements, but in the simple, everyday moments of life.
