Pippin in Concert

Author(s): Music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz, book by Roger O. Hirson Company: Katy Lipson for Aria Entertainment & Carter Dixon McGill Productions Running time: 2h 20min approx

Starring Tony Award-winning Broadway star of Shucked, Grammy nominated Alex Newell and featuring a 25-piece orchestra and 50-strong choir.

With a score from four-time Grammy winner, three-time Oscar winner, Stephen Schwartz, including the songs "Corner of the Sky" and "Magic to Do", Pippin is a soul-searching exploration of one man’s journey to find himself, his place and purpose in life.

Heir to the Frankish throne, the young prince Pippin is in search of the secret to true happiness and fulfilment. He seeks 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, though, Pippin finds that happiness lies not in extraordinary endeavours, but rather in the unextraordinary moments that happen every day.
