Photo of the Week: Poppin’ Pippin Rehearsal

The Spring musical, Pippin, is just around the corner! 

Winner of four 2013 Tony Awards including Best Musical Revival, Pippin tells the story of an heir to the Frankish throne, the young prince Pippin, who 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.

Get your (free) tickets to see the show, which opens on Monday, April 15, and closes on Thursday, April 18, with 4:30 PM showtimes each day.
