Minnetonka High School proudly opened their spring musical Pippin this weekend. The story follows a young prince named Pippin who is fresh out of school and looking for his purpose in life. The musical involves war, meticulous plots, love, and magic. Pippin has captivating music composed by the same man who composed the famous production, Wicked.
While the newest rendition of Pippin was set in a circus, Minnetonka High School took a unique spin on it. Leading Player, who acts as a narrator of the story, is originally played by one person and is the ring leader of the circus. They divided the part up into two separate parts and instead they act as the directors of the show. They constantly stop the show and break the fourth wall, meaning they talk directly to the audience. This creates a very interactive experience and constantly keeps the audience engaged with the story.
Along with being captivated by the story, Pippin is the kind of show that affects every audience member. Whether you’re a high school student who doesn’t know their purpose or a parent that is reminded of the simple joys, everyone is bound to feel something.
There are still two more weekends of shows left of Pippin with a show every Friday and Saturday night. Don’t miss you chance and buy your tickets to see Pippin!
