Elwood P. Dowd insists on including his friend Harvey in all of his sister Veta’s social gatherings. Trouble is, Harvey is an imaginary six-and-a-half- foot-tall rabbit. To avoid future embarrassment for her family, especially her daughter, Myrtle Mae, Veta decides to have Elwood committed.

At the sanitarium, a frantic Veta explains to the staff that her years of living with Elwood’s hallucination have also caused her to see Harvey, and so the doctors mistakenly commit her instead of her mild-mannered brother. Laughter ensues as the search is on to find Elwood and Harvey and free Veta. In the end, it seems that Elwood’s invisible friend has had a strange influence on everyone, including Veta.

Pippin is the story of one young man’s journey to be extraordinary. It is the winner of four 2013 Tony Awards including Best Musical Revival. Pippin continues to captivate and appeal to the young at heart throughout the world.

Heir to the Frankish throne, the young prince Pippin searches for 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.
