Pippin 50th Anniversary concert at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane in London.

There’s magic to do in the 50th anniversary concert production of PIPPIN at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane starring Tony Award-winning Broadway star of Shucked, Grammy nominated Alex Newell, and featuring a 20-piece orchestra and 50-strong choir.

A dream cast will also include Olivier Award winner Patricia Hodge (Private Lives, Miranda), Lucie Jones (Wicked, Les Misérables) as Catherine, 2024 Olivier Award nominee Cedric Neal (Guys and Dolls) as Charlemagne, Jac Yarrow (Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat) as Pippin, and Zizi Strallen (Mary Poppins) as Fastrada.

With an infectiously unforgettable score from four-time Grammy winner, three-time Oscar winner and musical theatre giant, Stephen Schwartz, including the classic songs Corner of the Sky and Magic to Do, Pippin is a soul-searching exploration of one man’s journey to find himself, his place and purpose in life.

Heir to the Frankish throne, the young prince Pippin is in search of the secret to true happiness and fulfilment. 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 endeavours, but rather in the unextraordinary moments that happen every day.
