Show Information:
Book by Roger O. Hirson, Music and Lyrics by Stephen Schwartz

Join us…We’ve got magic to do” Pippin is the story of a young prince, heir
to the throne, who is searching for his own “corner of the sky.” Pippin is
in search of the secret to true happiness, and a fulfilling purpose in
life. As encouraged by the Leading Player, Pippin dabbles in bloody battle,
lusty liaisons, and savvy politics, only to discover that true happiness is
more complicated than he thought. Pippin is both a humorous story about
growing up and a dark tale of the dangers of false appearances and empty
promises.

possible without changing the text.
