The Towle Theater is pleased to present their third production of their 21st season, a musical, Pippin. Music & Lyrics by Stephen Schwartz and Book by Roger O. Hirson. The production is Co-Directed by Jeff Casey and Jim LaPietra, music directed by Ron Attreau, and features choreography by Nikki Dizon. The production is sponsored by Greg and Beth Zargocki.
Pippin is the story of one young man's journey to be extraordinary. Heir to the Frankish throne, the young prince Pippin is in search of the secret to true happiness and fulfillment. 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 endeavors, but rather in the unextraordinary moments that happen every day.With an infectiously unforgettable score from four-time Grammy winner, three-time Oscar winner and musical theater giant, Stephen Schwartz, including the classic 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.
