The Grand 1894 Opera House presents the acclaimed Broadway musical revival of PIPPIN, performed by the National Touring Company, on Sunday, January 29, 2017 at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m.
Director Diane Paulus' new, circus-inspired production of Pippin features an extraordinary troupe of high-flying circus acrobats, magical illusions, accomplished acting, singing, and dancing, and soaring songs from Stephen Schwartz, composer of Wicked. These combined resources electrify the tale of a young prince who longs to find passion and adventure in his life. Said the Boston Herald: "The audience gets the musical story of a young man's search for meaning, and a side show of Cirque du Soleil to boot." Winner of four 2013 Tony Awards® including Best Musical Revival, this unforgettable new production has been hailed by audiences and critics alike as "an eye-popping, jaw-dropping extravaganza" (NY1). Rave reviews have called the production an enchanting theatrical experience for a new generation of youthful audiences and for the kid in all of us! This production is sponsored in part by galveston.com & company.
