This new, circus-inspired production of 'Pippin' features an acrobatic troupe of performers, led by the charismatic Leading Player. The ensemble cast tells the story of Pippin, a young prince who longs to find passion and adventure in his life.

Don't see it if Worth seeing for the songs and insightful book (how to give life meaning). I missed the Fosse choreography, tho. Talented cast.
