鈥淧ippin,鈥� the Tony Award-winning musical, runs Oct. 11-20 in the Storch Theatre at the 黑料不打烊 Stage/SU Drama Complex.聽

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 (after disposing of his father, King Charlemagne the Great). In the end, though, Pippin finds that happiness lies not in extraordinary endeavors, but rather in the unextraordinary moments that happen every day.

鈥淲e have assembled an extraordinary artistic team鈥揷omposed of award-winning creators, distinguished faculty, and accomplished alumni鈥搕o help us re-imagine and re-invigorate this timeless story of the search for purpose,鈥� says Ralph Zito, professor and chair of the department of drama. 鈥淎s always, our students have embraced the task with distinction, and we look forward to sharing the results of their creative work.鈥�

Originally premiering on Broadway in 1972, 鈥淧ippin鈥� takes audiences on a magical and miraculous journey, while encouraging us all to find our own 鈥淐orner of the Sky.鈥�
