2.2 Act 2
Act 2 begins with Pippin trying his best to grant the
wishes of as many people as possible. But he realizes
that it is impossible to keep everyone happy. Pippin re-
alizes that neither he nor his father could change society
and seemed forced to act as tyrants. He begs the Leading
Player to bring his slain father back to life, and the Lead-
ing Player does so as Charlemagne nonchalantly comes
back to life and mildly scolds Pippin. He feels direction-
less until the Leading Player inspires him (On the Right
Track). After experimenting with art and religion, he
falls into monumental despair and collapses on the oor.
Widowed farm-owner Catherine nds him on the street,
and is attracted by the arch of his foot (And There He
Was) and when Pippin comes to, she introduces herself
to Pippin (Kind of Woman). From the start, it is clear
that the Leading Player is concerned with Catherines act-
ing ability and actual attraction to Pippin after all, she
is but a player playing a part in his yet-to-be-unfolded
plan. At rst, Pippin thinks himself above such boring
manorial duties as sweeping, repairs, and milking cows
(Extraordinary), but eventually he comforts Catherines
small boy, Theo, on the sickness and eventual death of
his pet (Prayer for a Duck) and warms up to the lovely
Catherine (Love Song). However, as time goes by, Pip-
pin feels that he must leave the estate to continue search-
ing for his purpose. Catherine is heartbroken, and reects
on him (much to the Leading Players anger and surprise)
(I Guess I'll Miss the Man).
All alone on a stage, Pippin is surrounded by the Leading
Player and the various troupe members. They all suggest
that Pippin complete the most perfect act ever: the Finale.
They tell Pippin to jump into a box of re, light himself
up, and become one with the ame. Pippin is reluc-
tant at rst, but slowly loses resistance (Finale). He is
stopped by his natural misgivings and also by one actress
from the troupethe woman playing Catherine. Cather-
ine and her son Theo stand by Pippin and defy the script,
the Leading Player, and the Troupe. Pippin comes to
the realization that the widows home was the only place
where he was truly happy (Magic Shows and Miracles).
Having experimented with every possible path to fulll-
ment, he feels humbled, and realizes that maybe the most
fullling road of all is a modest, ordinary life. He comes
to the conclusion that, while settling down may at times
be mundane and boring, if [hes] never tied to anything,
[he'll] never be free. The Leading Player becomes furi-
ous and calls o the show, telling the rest of the troupe and
even the orchestra to pack up and leave Pippin, Cather-
ine, and her son alone on an empty, dark and silent stage,
yelling at Pippin, You try singing without music, sweet-
heart!" Pippin realizes that he has given up his extraor-
dinary purpose for the simplest and most ordinary life of
all, and he is nally a happy man. When Catherine asks
him how he feels, he says he feels trapped, but happy.
2.3 Extended ending
Some newer productions of Pippin, including the 2013
Broadway revival, have featured an extension to the orig-
inal ending. The Theo ending was originally conceived
in 1998 by Mitch Sebastian. After the troupe shuns Pip-
pin for not performing the grand nale, and he avers his
contentment with a simple life with Catherine, Theo re-
mains alone onstage, and sings a verse of Corner of the
Sky, after which the Leading Player and the troupe re-
turn, backed by the Magic to Do melody, implying that
the existential crisis at the heart of the play is part of a cy-
cle and will now continue, but with Theo as the troupes
replacement for Pippin. Current productions vary be-
tween the two possible endings, though Schwartz himself
has expressed his preference for the newer ending.[3]
[1] The rst act originally ended after Charles came back to
life before On the Right Track until the Broadway re-
vival. The original ending showed the Troupe attempting
to perform the nale before Pippin unexpectedly exits the
stage. The Leading Player then angrily reassures the au-
dience that the performance would continue.
3 Songs
Though Pippin is written to be performed in one act and
its single-arc structure does not easily accommodate an
intermission, many performances are broken into two
acts. In the two-act version currently licensed by Mu-
sical Theatre International, the intermission comes after
Morning Glow, with an Act I nale an abridged ver-
sion of Magic to Do inserted after Charless murder.
As with the new ending, the intermission can be added
at the directors discretion without additional permission
required.[4] The 2013 Broadway revival is performed with
an intermission.

6.1 1981 video
In 1981, a stage production of Pippin was videotaped for
Canadian television. The stage production was directed
by Kathryn Doby, Bob Fosse's dance captain for the orig-
inal Broadway production, and David Sheehan directed
the video adaptation, with Roger O. Hirson in charge of
the music. Ben Vereen returned for the role of Lead-
ing Player, while William Katt played the role of Pippin.
However, this version was a truncated adaptation and sev-
eral sections of the play were cut.[30] In the Broadway
version Pippin describes his emotions as trapped, but
happy, but in the video he says only trapped. Orig-
inally, Catherine sings I Guess Ill Miss the Man af-
ter Pippin departs, but this song does not appear in the
video.[31]
