Pippin is a 1972 musical written by Stephen Schwartz and Roger O. Hirson. It tells the story of the young son of Charlemagne desperately looking for a place to belong.Actually, it doesn't.The show is a Play Within a Play performed by a friendly (but slightly creepy) group of players led by the mysterious Leading Player. The players tell the audience that their show is building up to a fantastic Grand Finale, but don't give any information about what the Finale actually is. The Leading Player introduces us to the actor playing Pippin, who is apparently a new member of the troupe, playing Pippin for the first time. Pippin is very desperately searching for a purpose in life, and wants to find something completely fulfilling. Over the course of the show, Pippin experiments with war, sex, revolution, art, religion, and love, screwing up at everything or finding it unfulfilling. As the show goes on, the audience (hopefully) starts to question the motives of the Players, who become steadily more bizarre and scary.But just when Pippin is feeling most desperate, he meets a young widow named Catherine, and her son, Theo. Catherine is one of the Players, but she seems different from the rest of them, and actually cares a great deal about Pippin. This frustrates and confuses the Leading Player. This isn't how Catherine's part is supposed to go. Pippin starts to work on Catherine's very ordinary estate and becomes a part of her and her son's very ordinary lives. Eventually, he and Catherine fall in love, and it seems like they could actually live together happily. But Pippin, with some provocation from the Leading Player, decides that simply living with and loving someone isn't glamourous enough for him, and he runs away from the two.When he's failed at everything, the players reappear, saying that the only truly satisfying thing in the world is their Grand Finale—all for the audience's entertainment, of course. But right when it looks like Pippin is about to do it, he realizes that nothing in the world is truly perfect—and joins Catherine when she and Theo reappear. The Leading Player throws a temper tantrum and tells the Players to take down all the sets, costumes, lights, and makeup on Pippin and Catherine, but nothing deters them. Finally, the Players leave after saying that if any of the audience members should wish to perform their perfect act, they'll always be waiting. Pippin finds himself on an empty stage, prepared to live out the rest of his life in the most ordinary way of all, feeling "trapped, but happy." In plays following the lead of the revival, Pippin and Catherine then leave the stage, but Theo lingers, admiring the discarded set. He then begins a reprise of "Corner of the Sky", which causes the Players to reappear and join him. Well, they said they wouldn't be far away, after all.Pippin's original Broadway production — which was directed and choreographed by Bob Fosse and featured a cast including Ben Vereen, John Rubinstein, Eric Berry, Leland Palmer, Irene Ryan and Jill Clayburgh — ran for 1,944 performances over nearly five years. It was revived on Broadway in 2013.

Villain Song: "Spread A Little Sunshine" for Fastrada. Surprisingly, the play's true villain, The Leading Player, doesn't really get one. The closet thing he gets is "Magic To Do", but even then he’s not explicitly outlining his plans.

Original Cast Precedent
 Pippin (Theatre) / int_38647237
comment
Original Cast Precedent: The original actor for Pippin had absolutely no luck with the costume department in regards to shoes. He could never find a pair of shoes that were comfortable, so one night, fed up, he decided to do the whole show barefoot. It wasn't easy. In his dressing room after the curtain call, Bob Fosse came in. The actor prepared himself for a grovelling apology, but instead Fosse gushed, "I love it! Barefoot! Gives you that innocence." Since then, Pippin is traditionally barefoot, with the 2013 revival one of the few exceptions. Averted with the Leading Player, whose original actor, Ben Vereen, is an African-American man. The role has since been played not only by men of different ethnicities, but also several women, including Rosie O'Donnell and Patina Miller, who won a Tony award for her performance in 2013.

Audience Participation Song: Berthe asks the audience to sing along with her in the choruses of "No Time At All" (except for the last one, which she insists on taking by herself). This is usually facilitated by having a large sheet with the lyrics for the chorus drop down from the ceiling.

Our Acts Are Different
 Pippin (Theatre) / int_8015466d
comment
Our Acts Are Different: Pippin was originally written in one act, but most regional productions insert an intermission. In some productions, it's placed immediately after Pippin kills Charlegmagne. The second act then picks up exactly where the first act ended, and "Morning Glow" is used as an opening number. The version from Music Theatre International places an intermission after Charles is raised with an Act I Finale. Act II opens with On The Right Track. The 2013 revival ends Act I with "Morning Glow," and Act II begins with an entr'acte, and a jazzy reprise of "Glory" designed for "Pippin The Great." Lampshaded in the 2013 revival when the Leading Player remarks that "attention spans are shorter than they used to be" at the end of Act I.

Small Role, Big Impact: The role of Berthe, Pippin's grandmother, is only featured in one scene, totaling about 10 minutes of stage time, most of which is spent singing her only song "No Time at All." However, the role has still been played by many well-known actresses over the years (including the role's legendary originator, Irene Ryan) and Andrea Martin even won a Tony Award for Best Featured Actress in a Musical for playing the role in 2013.

Follow the Bouncing Ball: At least in the 1973 production, the audience is given the lyrics to the participation song "No Time At All," and a bouncing ball indicates which lyric the audience should be singing at that time.

Cross-Cast Role
 Pippin (Theatre) / int_9c379ef0
comment
Cross-Cast Role: Original Cast Precedent has the Leading Player as male, but numerous productions, including the 2013 Broadway revival, have cast females. Aside from the changing of keys, it doesn't make much difference. Ben Vereen (in the 1970's) and Patina Miller (in 2013) have the distinction of the first time a man and a woman have each won a Tony for the same role.

For the Evulz: Let's face it, if Leading Player has any other motivation for killing Pippin(s), we don't know it. Word Of God is that the lead player isn’t evil per se, and more represents the desire for fame and recognition, that can lead to self destructive behavior if left unchecked.

It's All About Me: Pippin. When you think about it, this is really the whole point of the show. He has a freakin' song just about how special he thinks he is. Notably, the first action that he takes in the show that isn't about his own fulfillment ("Prayer for a Duck", which he sings after deciding that life at Catherine's manor is too ordinary for him) ends up forming the connection to Catherine and Theo that allows him to find an alternative to death at the end.

Xanatos Gambit: A basic one is set up by Fastrada. She encourages Charles to attend his annual prayer, where he will be unguarded. Under the pretense of conciliation, she then tells Pippin where Charles will be, and when. If Pippin assassinates Charles, Lewis will be next in line to the throne. If Pippin is caught and executed, Lewis will be next in line to the throne.

Minor Character, Major Song: Berthe not only has just one song, she appears in only one scene.note Some productions also have her join the chorus at the end, but still. However, "No Time At All" is such a showstopper that it pretty much guarantees the actress will get to bring down the house.

Dark Reprise: The first time Pippin sings "Corner of the Sky", it's full of hope and determination. Throughout the show, it is reprised more and more desperately each time he gives up on something, culminating during the Finale, as he prepares to light himself on fire In the revised ending, there is one more less desperate but extremely eerie reprise sung by Theo, returning to the stage in the hope of finding his own purpose with the help of the Players.

Then, when the threat of war forces Pippin to suspend all these reforms, Fastrada dubs him "King Pippin, the Unpopular."
