In the dimly lit corners of the stage, shadows whisper tales of a young prince: Pippin. Guided by the mysterious Leading Player, watch as Pippin struggles through a labyrinth of desires, constantly grappling with the call of power, love’s seduction and the allure of self-discovery. But lurking beneath the surface lies a cryptic truth waiting to be unveiled, beckoning Pippin to unravel the mysteries of his own existence. This hilarious yet poignant musical, with lyrics by Stephen Schwartz and book by Roger O. Hirson, is sure to leave audiences spellbound in a realm of mystery and wonder.
