Music & Lyrics by STEPHEN SCHWARTZ | Book by ROGER O. HIRSON
A dazzling troupe of travelling performers converges to tell the story of a young prince’s pursuit of purpose. Hypnotised by the glitz and glamour, Pippin chases glory in battle, temptation in love, and power on the throne only to discover that the brighter the bulbs, the darker the shadows. Broadway meets Bognor Regis in this reimagining of Stephen Schwartz’s (Wicked; Godspell) Tony Award-winning classic.

Blithe Spirit
by Noël Coward
When urbane novelist Charles Condomine invites an eccentric medium to conduct a séance for research purposes, he unwittingly conjures the ghost of his glamorous and mischievous first wife, Elvira. Her spectral return throws Charles’s carefully ordered life—and his second marriage to the pragmatic Ruth—into delicious disarray.
Join us for this sparkling, supernatural comedy of manners, where love, laughter, and a little ghostly chaos collide. Whether you're a Coward connoisseur or a newcomer to his wicked wit, Blithe Spirit promises an evening of stylish suspense and spectral delight.
