Broadway On Tour is thrilled to announce auditions for our upcoming production of "Pippin."
Directed by Danny Blaylock
Choreographed by Karie Seasock
Musically Directed by John Blaylock
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.
Music and Lyrics by Stephen Schwartz
Book by Roger O. Hirson
