Pippin (musical)
''Pippin'' is a Tony Award-winning musical with music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz and a book by Roger O. Hirson. Bob Fosse, who directed the original Broadway production, also contributed to the libretto. The musical uses the premise of a mysterious performance troupe, led by a Leading Player, to tell the story of Pippin, a young prince on his search for meaning and significance.
The protagonist Pippin and his father Charlemagne are characters derived from two real-life individuals of the early Middle Ages, though the plot presents very little historical accuracy regarding either. The play rather derives from the old Burlesque of Faust. The show was partially financed by Motown Records. As of November 2015, the original run of ''Pippin'' is the 33rd longest-running Broadway show.〔List of the 100 Longest-Running Broadway shows〕 ''Pippin'' was originally conceived by Stephen Schwartz as a student musical entitled ''Pippin, Pippin'' and performed by Carnegie Mellon University's Scotch'n'Soda theatre troupe.
According to musical theatre scholar Scott Miller in his 1996 book, ''From Assassins to West Side Story'', "''Pippin'' is a largely under-appreciated musical with a great deal more substance to it than many people realize...Because of its 1970s pop style score and a somewhat emasculated licensed version for amateur productions, which is very different from the original Broadway production, the show now has a reputation for being merely cute and harmlessly naughty; but if done the way director Bob Fosse envisioned it, the show is surreal and disturbing." Ben Vereen and Patina Miller won Tony Awards for their portrayals of the Leading Player in the original Broadway production and the revival, respectively, making them the first two actors of different genders to win a Tony for the same role.
