There are two sides to every story...
In this hilarious musical parody we finally get to see the story of Aladdin from the villains point of view - and boy is it a whole new world! Told in a similar style to 'Wicked', this twisted version of the childhood classic reveals Ja'far is actually a hardworking and honest man who only wants to help the people of the Magic Kingdom. When the spoiled and naive Princess angers the prince of the Kingdom of Pik-zar, Ja'far must protect his people from the invading army, the kingdom’s own bumbling Sultan and the most notorious thief in the land, Aladdin! This musical adventure celebrates and lovingly pokes fun at everyone's favorite series of hand-drawn, animated films.

There's magic to do when a prince learns the true meaning of glory, love and war in Stephen Schwartz's (Wicked, Godspell, The Hunchback of Notre Dame) iconic and unforgettable musical masterpiece.
Pippin is the story of one young man's journey to be extraordinary. Heir to the Frankish throne, the young prince Pippin is in search of the secret to true happiness and fulfillment. 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 endeavors, but rather in the unextraordinary moments that happen every day.
