The Coronado School of the Arts (CoSA) Musical Theatre and Drama Conservatory brings “Pippin” to the stage April 26 – May 4. The musical, featuring the dance style of Bob Fosse, comes alive with fun carnival costumes, spectacular scenery and the story of a young prince on a journey of self-discovery. Tickets are on sale online.
“Pippin is a great musical for an ensemble, so much dancing,” said Barbara Wolf, department chair for musical theatre and drama. “There are lots of really great group numbers. Guests will enjoy the Bob Fosse-inspired choreography. His dances are so specific and detailed. The hips, the feet, the hats and canes!”
“Pippin” is a 1972 musical with music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz and a book by Roger O. Hirson. As of January 2024, the original run of “Pippin” is the 37th longest-running Broadway show.
