Pippin presented by MadKap Productions at Skokie Theatre

A captivating musical about a young man's search for meaning and fulfillment in life, PIPPIN is the story of a young man in search of his purpose in life, which he believes to be extraordinary. Through dazzling choreography, an unforgettable score, and a mix of heart, humor, and spectacle, his journey is told by a troupe of travelling performers. The troupe is led by the mysterious Leading Player, who is witty, magnetic, and theatrical-but also manipulative and controlling. They are obsessed with putting on a great show, even at the expense of the characters' well-being. Ben Vereen won a Tony Award for his portrayal of the Leading Player in the original Broadway production. Patina Miller also won a Tony Award for her portrayal in the 2013 revival, which was the first time that both a man and a woman won the Tony Award for playing the exact same role. In this production, the role of the Leading Player is played simultaneously by Andrew Buel and Hannah Mary Simpson, who jointly collaborate with the other players and the audience thru this exhilarating tale of finding one's true purpose in a world full of possibilities.
