Pippin West End Tickets, News, Info & More


Pippin, the energetic and sometimes bizarre brainchild of director Bob Fosse, takes you on a wild journey of self-discovery. Pippin, a young prince seemingly bored with his royal life, longs to find his "purpose," his "Corner of the Sky." He embarks on a series of extravagant adventures, testing the waters of love, war, politics, and even the simple life.

Nothing seems to fulfill him completely, leaving him feeling lost and disillusioned. Throughout his quest, Pippin encounters a wacky cast of characters, including a seductive Leading Player who acts as a guide and manipulator, a flamboyant troupe of performers, and various eccentric figures who represent different paths in life. The musical is filled with Fosse's signature choreography – sharp angles, fedoras, and a touch of vaudeville – adding a layer of theatricality to Pippin's exploration.

Despite its comedic moments and outlandish scenarios, Pippin grapples with deeper existential questions. Is there meaning to life? What does it mean to be truly happy? The ending is unconventional, leaving the audience to ponder Pippin's ultimate choice and the never-ending quest for fulfillment.
