EAST LANSING – The new production of "Pippin" by Stephen Schwartz, composer of "Wicked" and three-time Oscar-winner, will play through Oct. 22 at the Wharton Center at Michigan State University.
Mischievous, magical, humorous and captivating – Tony Award-winning "Pippin" is the lively coming of age story of Charlemagne's oldest son. A surprise waits around every corner as Pippin wanders through the worlds of politics, love and war before finding his true calling. "Pippin" is packed with dazzling and imaginative songs such as "Magic to Do," "Corner of the Sky" and the audience sing-along "No Time at All."
This vivid new vision of "Pippin" retains the wit, style, and charm of the original production, while infusing it with a contemporary approach. Once again there is "magic to do," this time with fascinating new sets and costumes, plus the added attraction of "cirque-like" acrobatics.
