In this coming-of-age story, Pippin, heir to the throne of Charlemagne, ventures on a quest of self-discovery, but in doing so our hero must face the uncertain worlds of warfare, love, politics and religion.

Transported into a videogame world, Pippin is the son of King Charlemagne. He must play through the levels that simulate his life. Initially siding with his father to fight in the war, on the way he ends up attempting strategies with women and politics. But with his plans heading in a downward spiral, will the damsel-in-distress Catherine be able to save him before it's game over?

With music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz (composer of Wicked and Godspell) and book by Roger O. Hirson, The Menier Chocolate Factory’s new version has been completely re-conceived, directed and choreographed, incorporating Bob Fosse's original Tony Award-winning routines, by Mitch Sebastian.
