With an infectiously unforgettable score from four-time GRAMMY winner, three-time Oscar winner and musical theatre giant, Stephen Schwartz, PIPPIN is the story of a man’s journey to the extraordinary. The son of a king, Pippin is stuck between what is expected of him and the possibilities that forging his own path holds. His epic journey blurs the lines between fantasy and reality, in search of something greater than what he knows. PIPPIN explores themes of identity, purpose, and the joy that comes from breaking a few rules. Don’t miss this five-time Tony Award-winning musical that is sure to transport its audience to a new world! Features students from JMU’s School of Theatre and Dance. PIPPIN is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI. www.mtishows.com. Contains adult content, adult language, violence, and sexual content. Recommended for ages 13 and up.
