Mitch Sebastian Returns To The Bridewell For Q&A At Sedos' Production Of PIPPIN

Director, choreographer, writer and performer Mitch Sebastian returns to the Bridewell Theatre this Thursday (17 May 2018), 20 years after he directed Pippin at the venue, to see a new production of the show and answer the audience's questions.

Mitch will join members of the Sedos Pippin company for a post-show Q&A discussing his role in the recent history of the now-popular show, from directing a seminal production at the Bridewell 20 years ago - the first to use the "Theo ending" - and the Menier Chocolate Factory production in 2011, to working with Pippin's music and lyric writer Stephen Schwartz to develop the recent Broadway revival.

Mitch Sebastian is an Olivier and WhatsOnStage Award-nominated British theatre director, choreographer and performer. He created and directed The Rat Pack: Live from Las Vegas which ran for four years in the West End and was artistic director of Kilworth House Theatre for several years. As a performer, he appeared in the European premieres of the Sondheim shows Follies and Pacific Overtures as well as the original cast of Stephen Schwartz's Children of Eden. As a choreographer and director, he has worked on numerous West End shows, as well as with the Royal Shakespeare Company and the Peter Hall Company at the Old Vic.

The Q&A is free for ticket holders and there are fewer than 30 tickets left for this performance. Wednesday night's performance is sold out, with tickets still available for Tuesday, Friday and both Saturday shows.

Sedos' Pippin opened last Wednesday (9 May) and has been receiving excellent reviews.
