Pippin at The Star a big success

Audiences rejoice as Pippin and

the Lyric lead theatre comeback

SYDNEY-siders and critics have embraced the return to theatres with Sydney’s unforgettable summer hit musical, the high-flying, death-defying hit Broadway musical PIPPIN receiving huge acclaim by critics and audiences alike.

The first large scale musical theatre production to open in Australia since COVID-19 led to theatres closing down in March, PIPPIN plays exclusively at the Sydney Lyric at The Star for a limited season.

With final seats just released for performances up to January 31, 2021, PIPPIN has been described as “an evening of magic” (The Guardian), “spectacular” (Stage Whispers), “irresistible” (Suzy Goes See), “full of colour and pure entertainment” (Scenestr) and “vastly enjoyable” (The Australian), with the Sydney Morning Herald acclaiming “a dazzling presentation, the dancing, performances, costumes, set and acrobatics are all so brimming with pizazz.”

Foundation Theatres and the Sydney Lyric said they have a detailed COVID Safety Plan to help keep everyone safe while at the theatre, and will always operate in accordance with the advice of NSW Health.

“We’re so excited to bring PIPPIN to the stage as the first musical following the Covid shutdown, and seeing the joy and appreciation on the faces of our audiences,” said producer John Frost.

“Everyone in this sensational cast and crew is thrilled to be bringing this exhilarating musical to life and opening up Sydney musical theatre again. Sydney is ready to celebrate and what better way than heading to the Sydney Lyric to enjoy this Tony Award winning musical which has thrilled audiences across the globe.

PIPPIN is the must-see musical of the summer, full of magic, acrobatics and excitement – don’t miss it.”

The cast features Ainsley Melham who plays the young and confused protagonist Pippin along with Gabrielle McClinton, Kerri-Anne Kennerley, Simon Burke, Lucy Maunder, Leslie Bell, Euan Doidge as well as young actors Andy Alexander, George Holahan-Cantwell, William Wheeler and Ryan Yeates plus a talented supporting cast.

The Australian Premiere has been secured exclusively for Sydney by the NSW Government through its tourism and major events agency, Destination NSW.
