DIRECTOR ’S NOTE

PIPPIN is one of those musicals that provides fond memories for anyone who’s ever encountered it—whether it be a factor of the dazzling theatricality and reference to multiple performative styles, or a factor of the personal significance of an individual’s quest for meaning and the pursuit of an extraordinary life. The play can never quite shake the spectre of the original, Bob Fosse production because it broke ground in so many ways, providing a theatrical and choreographic vocabulary that changed the face of the American musical. But Fosse added one ingredient to a stew that was already rich with stylistic complexity—a story of Charlemagne’s son, told by a troupe of players from any/every time period, as he searches for self-fulfillment at university, in war, in politics, in the flesh, and finally in simplicity and family.

What makes the musical so enduring is the combination of magic and truth—the “razzle-dazzle” with the honest-- a simple story of Pippin’s journey to find himself told through song and dance. We all can relate to that search, whether we’ve been through it or we’re going through it now. It’s the journey, not the finale that we should enjoy.

Mark E. Lococo, Director

DR A M ATURGICAL NOTE

Welcome to the magical and mysterious world of Prince Pippin, son of Charlemagne, Holy Roman Emperor!

When Stephen Schwartz originally wrote the musical, he titled it PIPPIN. PIPPIN is a historical one-act musical that covered only the first act of what we now know as simply PIPPIN. An acting troupe, directed by the Leading Player, arrives with Pippin and assists him in his quest for an extraordinary life. The Players work with Pippin as he explores war, religion, sex, and family, leaving Pippin with the ultimate choice: either participate in their fantastical grand finale or choose a mundane life without the Players.

When Stephen Schwartz originally wrote the musical, he titled it PIPPIN, PIPPIN - a historical one-act musical that covered only the first act of what we now know as simply PIPPIN. Years after writing the original script, Schwartz partnered with book writer Roger O. Hirson, and they extended the musical to two acts, transforming it from an historical story to an allegorical tale of a young man finding himself. Collaboration with the original director and choreographer Bob Fosse introduced a more sinister and sexy focus, making the musical more cynical and dangerous. Fosse’s influence in the original show has become indistinguishable from the piece itself, often influencing the style of productions of PIPPIN ever since.

So please, sit back and relax as Pippin and the Players work to amaze and entertain you – they’ve got magic to do!

ABOUT THE CREATORS

Stephen Schwartz composed the music and lyrics for PIPPIN. Born and raised in New York City, he studied piano and composition at Juilliard School of Music during high school. In 1968, Schwartz graduated with a BFA in Theatre from Carnegie Mellon University. Schwartz has worked in the Broadway theatre since 1969, and his composing credits include major hits such as GODSPELL, CHILDREN OF EDEN, and WICKED. Schwartz’s talent has also transferred over to the film industry, where he has composed and written songs for the movies POCAHONTAS, THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME, THE PRINCE OF EGYPT, and ENCHANTED. Over the course of his career, Schwartz has received six Tony Award nominations, three Academy Awards, three Grammy Awards, and a Golden Globe award.

Roger O. Hirson wrote the book for PIPPIN. Throughout the 1950s and 1960s he was very active in writing episodes for several different anthology drama television series, including STUDIO ONE and PLAYHOUSE 90. In 1976, Hirson was nominated for an Emmy Award for the PBS miniseries, THE ADAMS CHRONICLES. Hirson is also well known for his work on the musical WALKING HAPPY, which he co-wrote with Pulitzer Prize winner Ketti Frings. Hirson was once married to actress Alice Hirson, with whom he had two sons: Christopher and David. David has followed in his father’s footsteps by working as a dramatist on Broadway.
