Pippin at The Hanover Theatre

After dazzling audiences in New York and Los Angeles -- and winning the 2013 Tony Award for Best Musical Revival -- this exciting new staging of Pippin comes to The Hanover Theatre in Worcester. This updated version of the Broadway classic infuses the production with amazing acrobatics and wondrous magical feats -- along with the music and lyrics of Stephen Schwartz, award-winning composer of Wicked and Godspell. With classic songs like "Corner of the Sky," "No Time at All," "Magic to Do" and "Extraordinary," as well as re-created interpretations of Bob Fosse's original choreography, this sexy and sophisticated version of Pippin tells the story of the son of Charlemagne, leader of the Holy Roman Empire, who goes on a death-defying journey to find meaning in life. Along the way, he encounters love, sex, war and politics, and must ultimately choose between a life that's ordinary or a flash of singular glory.
