David Sullivan of Charlestown in PIPPIN July 18 - 21

The winner of four 2013 Tony® Awards, including Best Revival of a Musical, PIPPIN is truly magical and extraordinary!  Boston Children’s Theatre (BCT) is proud to present this thrilling musical to showcase the talents of 9-year old David Sullivan of Charlestown.  PIPPIN will be performed July 19, 20, and 21 at The Governor’s Academy in Byfield, MA.

Playing the role of Pippin’s brother ‘Lewis,’ David Sullivan was recently seen in Oliver at Wheelock Family Theatre.  He has also appeared with Charlestown Working Theatre in King John, Twelfth Night and A Christmas Carol.  He is currently a student at the Advent School in Boston.

With a score by Stephen Schwartz, composer of Godspell and Wicked, and book by Roger O. Hirson, PIPPIN follows a young man on his journey to find meaning in his life. Will he choose a happy, simple existence or risk everything for a moment of glory?  Featuring such songs as “Corner of the Sky,” “Magic to Do,” “Glory,” and “Morning Glow,” PIPPIN is directed by Lisa Yuen, director of BCT’s 2012 Studio 3 production of Legally Blonde, with choreography by Blair Beasley and Brianna Fallon, and music direction by Jaime Castellanos.
