Theres magic to do in the 50th anniversary concert production of PIPPIN at the iconic Theatre Royal Drury Lane. The show will star Tony Award winner Alex Newell (Shucked), Jac Yarrow (Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat, Newsies), Olivier Award winner Patricia Hodge (Downton Abbey, Miranda), Lucie Jones (Waitress, Les Misrables, Wicked) Cedric Neal (Guys & Dolls, Back to the future) Zizi Strallen, (Mary Poppins, Strictly Ballroom, Follies) and featuring the London Musical Theatre Orchestra. With an infectiously unforgettable score from four-time Grammy winner, three-time Oscar winner and musical theatre giant, Stephen Schwartz, including the classic songs Corner of the Sky and Magic to Do, Pippin is a soul-searching exploration of one mans journey to find himself, his place and purpose in life. Heir to the Frankish throne, the young prince Pippin is in search of the secret to true happiness and fulfilment. He seeks 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, though, Pippin finds that happiness lies not in extraordinary endeavours, but rather in the unextraordinary moments that happen every day. Stephen Schwartz said: Although there have been some excellent recent productions of Pippin in the UK, the show never gets to be heard with a full live orchestra and choir. This concert, with a cast led by the astonishing Alex Newell and produced under the always first-rate auspices of Katy Lipsons Aria Entertainment and Carter Dixon McGill, promises to be a once-in-a-blue-moon event. I for one cannot wait to experience it!
