POTTSTOWN PA – “Pippin,” the tongue-in-cheek, anachronistic fairy tale-turned-musical (right) that captivated Broadway audiences, continues in performances this weekend and next (Oct. 22-23 and Oct. 27-30) at the Tri-County Performing Arts Center (Tri-PAC), 245 High St., Pottstown PA.
- This event has been added to The Post calendar.
Pippin is a young prince who longs to discover the secret of true happiness and fulfillment. He seeks it in the glories of the battlefield, the temptations of the flesh, and the intrigues of political power. In the end, he finds it in the simple pleasures of home and family.
The energetic, pop-influenced score bursts with show-stopping numbers, from soaring ballads to infectious dances (above). “Pippin” is written by three-time Oscar-winning composer and lyricist Stephen Schwartz, the creator of the Broadway hits “Wicked” and “Godspell;” the animated films “Pocahontas,” “The Hunchback Of Notre Dame” and “The Prince Of Egypt,” and other musicals.
The cast (above) includes David Bazemore, Matt Kiesling, Carly Fried, Neal Newman, Donna Dougherty, Ben Fried, Jason Burke, David Eurillo, Drew Carr, Dane Duncan, Jordan Popky, Pat Rhoads, Kelsey Riker, Jordan Shoemaker, and Carrie Thorwarth.
