The winner of four 2013 Tony® Awards, including Best Revival of a Musical, PIPPIN is truly magical and extraordinary! Boston Children’s Theatre (BCT) is proud to present this thrilling musical to showcase the talents of 13-year old Lucy Desmond. PIPPIN will be performed July 18, 19, 20, and 21 at The Governor’s Academy in Byfield, MA.
Cast in the role of a ‘Player’ in the ensemble of PIPPIN, Lucy is no stranger to the stage. She has appeared in numerous BCT productions including Legally Blonde as ‘Enid,’ Footloose and The Wedding Singer. A student at the Brookwood School, Lucy has appeared in the school’s holiday production of The Gift and with Neverland Theatre as a ‘Munchkin’ in The Wizard of Oz.
With a score by Stephen Schwartz, composer of Godspell and Wicked, and book by Roger O. Hirson, PIPPIN follows a young man on his journey to find meaning in his life. Will he choose a happy, simple existence or risk everything for a moment of glory? Featuring such songs as “Corner of the Sky,” “Magic to Do,” “Glory,” and “Morning Glow,” PIPPIN is directed by Lisa Yuen, director of BCT’s 2012 Studio 3 production of Legally Blonde, with choreography by Blair Beasley and Brianna Fallon, and music direction by Jaime Castellanos.
