Where to watch
theatrical history
Pippin is a concept musical loosely based on the life story of Charlemagne’s son. Set within the world of circus and magic, Pippin is on a quest to find himself, and find meaning in the world.
The musical began life as the double-barreled Pippin, Pippin at Carnegie Tech (now Carnegie Mellon) under the auspices of the student theatre group Scotch’n’Soda. Collaborating with composer Ron Strauss, Stephen Schwartz wrote an original musical which was performed to much acclaim in April 1967. The cast made an album, which piqued the interest of producer Harry Lynn.
Following the success of Godspell on Broadway, Schwartz returned to Pippin. Now collaborating with book writer Roger O. Hirson, Schwartz completely re-worked and re-vamped the score and book.
Bob Fosse was brought in to direct the new production. Tension over creative differences flared between Schwartz and Fosse, and Schwartz was eventually banned from rehearsals.
Pippin was first performed to much acclaim in Washington D.C. at the Kennedy Center in September, 1972.
Pippin opened on Broadway at the Imperial Theatre on October 23, 1972, starring Ben Vereen as the Leading Player, John Rubinstein as Pippin, Eric Berry as Charles, Jill Clayburgh as Catherine, and Leland Palmer as Fastrada.
The production received mixed reviews. Most critics loved the spectacle but were unmoved by the book and score.
The production was nominated for, and won, a slew of awards including five Drama Desk Awards and five Tony Awards.

In 1973, Pippin became the first Broadway musical to use live footage of the show in a television commercial. Theatre historian Nathan Hurwitz notes that before Pippin, it was believed that “television-watchers likely wouldn’t pay for a live theater ticket.” Fosse, along with producer Stuart Ostrow, hoped a television commercial would “generate buzz about the show.”
The commercial was filmed by the Ash/LeDonne Agency, and, at the last minute, directed by Fosse. In the ad, a voiceover, provided by Fosse, offered a “free minute” of Pippin, and told viewers they could “see the other 119 minutes of Pippin, live, at the Imperial Theatre — without commercial interruption.”
The commercial was a huge hit and helped boost ticket sales at the box office — ensuring Pippin would become the longest running musical of the 1972/73 season. According to historian Alyson McLamore, choreography that had been created specifically for the ad was later inserted into the show due to popular demand.
During the last few months of the Broadway run, Pippin transferred to the Minskoff Theatre.
After a total of 1,944 performances, Pippin closed on Broadway on June 12, 1977.
Pippin opened on West End on October 30, 1975 and played for 85 performances.
In June 1981, a special production of Pippin was filmed live over three performances at the Hamilton Place Theatre in Ontario for the pay-tv program Broadway on Showtime. As Bob Fosse was tied up with other projects, original cast member Kathryn Doby was booked to direct and choreograph, and actor and entertainer David Sheehan was employed as the technical director. Although Fosse praised Doby for her work in recreating his vision, he hated the television special and apologized to the cast for the final cuts that Sheehan had implemented against Fosse’s wishes (see Pippin).
An immensely popular and critically acclaimed revival directed by Diane Paulus opened on Broadway at the Music Box Theatre on April 25, 2013. The production featured Patina Miller (Leading Player), Matthew James Thomas (Pippin), Terrance Mann (Charles), Charlotte d’Amboise (Fastrada), Rachel Bay Jones (Catherine), and Andrea Martin (Berthe).
As with the original Broadway production, the Broadway revival was nominated for, and won, multiple awards.

McMillan (Theo), Jennifer Nairn-Smith (Player), Pamela Sousa (Player), Leland Palmer (Fastrada), and Joy Franz (Catherine replacement).

Film history
Produced by Katy Lipson for Aria Entertainment & Carter Dixon McGill Productions, a special two-night-only concert of Pippin was staged at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane. As noted by Stephen Schwartz in press for the concert, “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… promises to be a once-in-a-blue-moon event.”
Pippin played at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane to sold out houses on April 29 and 30, 2024.
The concert was directed by Jonathan Boyle, with music direction by Chris Ma, choreography by Joanna Goodwin, scenic and costume design by Polly Sullivan, lighting design by Jamie Platt, and sound design by Adam Fisher.
The cast included Alex Newell (Leading Player), Jac Yarrow (Pippin), Patricia Hodge (Berthe), Lucie Jones (Catherine), Cedric Neal (Charlemagne), and Zizi Strallen (Fastrada), Ryan Heenan (Theo), Idriss Kargbo (Lewis), WITH Amonik Melaco, Jak Allen-Anderson, Sally Frith, and Gleanne Purcell-Brown as The Players. The concert also featured the 50-person ArtsEd Choir, and the London Musical Theatre Orchestra.
Patricia Hodge had created the role of Catherine in the original West End production of Pippin in 1973.
The ArtsEd Choir was comprised of third-year BA (Hons) Musical Theatre ArtsEd students. Jac Yarrow and Zizi Strallen are also graduates of ArtsEd.
The London concert received rave reviews, with critics praising the excellence of the leads, notably Alex Newell, Zizi Strallen, and Patricia Hodge. Some critics also noted some issues with sound, but overall described the concert as close to, if not actual, perfection.
In a five star review for Musical Theatre Review, Lee Mattershead praised the performances of the cast and summized “To soar as it should, [Pippin] needs the size, scale and sumptuous talent that made this production so memorable. On a Monday night in London, this was Pippin perfection.”
Grace Proctor, writing for London Theatre Review, extolled the production as “a true masterclass in musical theatre,” and praised Alex Newell for their “standout performance as the Leading Player… they sparkle with unmatched vocals and impeccable comedic timing.”
Louise Penn, in a review for BroadwayWorld, similarly praised the cast and also noted, “director Jonathan O’Boyle… does this show proud.” Of the orchestra, Penn stated Chris Ma and his musicians are note-perfect, giving Schwartz’s melodies a lush vibrancy.”
Pippin - 50th Anniversary Concert was released on BroadwayHD on March 13, 2025.
In a review for TheaterMania Jonas Schwartz gave similar praise as the in-person critics and stated “BroadwayHD deserves credit for letting this production shine.”
