Osceola Arts continues into the spring with another musical making its first appearance at the theater.
Beginning Friday, April 9 and running through Sunday, April 25, “Pippin” will be live on the main stage. This musical, with music and lyrics by Steven Schwartz and book by Roger O. Hirson, is the fictitious telling of the young son of medieval French ruler, Charlemagne, who is in search of the secret to a life of fulfillment.
Pippin soon meets a mysterious troupe of players that encourage him to engage in multiple temptations on his road to finding true happiness. Directed by J. Marie Bailey, the production features Bob Fosse-inspired dance numbers, aerial silk performers and a talented cast of new and returning faces to the Osceola Arts stage. Magic, glory, love and war await Pippin on his journey to find the meaning of life. The public should note: “Pippin” contains some mature themes and language and is not suitable for young children.
Tickets start at only $25, with senior, students, and group rates available. Showtimes for Pippin” are at 7:30 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, 2 p.m. on Sundays, and an additional 2 p.m. matinee performance on Saturday, April 24.
