Tony Award®-winning Pippin is the lively coming of age story of King Charlemagne’s oldest son. Featuring music from the award-winning composer of Wicked and Godspell, this dazzlingly colorful and imaginative fairy tale first captivated audiences on Broadway and continues to appeal to the young-at-heart everywhere.
Director Jeff Calhoun and Deaf West Theatre follow their wildly popular hits, Sleeping Beauty Wakes (Ovation Award winner) at the Douglas and Big River at the Taper, by transforming this beloved classic into a wildly theatrical and original musical event featuring deaf, hard-of-hearing and hearing actors as voice and American Sign Language are interwoven with music, dance, and joyous storytelling.
