PIPPIN at ACTON BOXBOROUGH REGIONAL HIGH SCHOOL

Once upon a time, the young prince Pippin longed to discover the secret of true happiness and fulfillment. He sought 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, he found it in the simple pleasures of home and family. brbrThis hip, tongue-in-cheek, anachronistic fairy tale captivated Broadway audiences and continues to appeal to the young at heart everywhere (the show has become a staple on high school and college campuses). The energetic pop-influenced score by three-time Oscar®-winning composer/lyricist Stephen Schwartz (?Godspell,? ?Children of Eden? and the animated films ?Pocahontas,? ?The Hunchback Of Notre Dame? and ?The Prince Of Egypt?) bursts with one showstopping number after another, from soaring ballads to infectious dance numbers.
