Pippin, Music & Lyrics by Stephen Schwartz, Book by Roger O. Hirson

Guided by a troupe of enigmatic players, the young prince Pippin sets out on a restless search for meaning and fulfillment. As heir to the Frankish throne, he explores glory on the battlefield, the seduction of power, and the promise of passion—each experience grand, dramatic, and ultimately unsatisfying.

By turns playful, provocative, and deeply reflective, Pippin asks a timeless question: what truly makes a life worthwhile? In the end, its answer is both simple and profound—suggesting that real happiness may be found not in extraordinary achievements, but in the quiet, everyday moments we so often overlook.

“We’ve got to find our corner of the sky.”
— Pippin
