Excerpt from the article:
"The South Simcoe Theatre’s (SST) vibrant production of Pippin explores how spectacle and illusion can distract from the richness of 'ordinary life.'
In keeping with that theme, the musical dazzles with standout performances and voices, rich costumes, and a set that supports the story and action. Unexpected elements include puppets and even some actual stage illusions. It all adds up to the magic of live theatre."
About “Pippin”
The 2013 Tony Award-winning Broadway revival of Pippin is the story of one young man's journey to be extraordinary. Heir to the Frankish throne, the young prince Pippin is in search of the secret to 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, though, Pippin finds that happiness lies not in extraordinary endeavours, but rather in the un-extraordinary moments that happen every day.
Audience Advisory: This performance includes strong language and images in an attempt to engage the audience in a new, and perhaps magical way. Please note that stage fog is also used. Recommended for ages 14 and up.
Pippin runs May 2–18, 2025, Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 pm, Sundays at 2 pm.
