It features sizzling choreography by Tony Award nominee Chet Walker in the style of Bob Fosse and circus creation of breathtaking acrobatics by Gypsy Snider of the Montreal-based circus company Les 7 doigts de la main (also known as 7 Fingers) the creative force behind the nationwide sensation “Traces”. PIPPIN is noted for many Broadway standards including “Corner of the Sky,” “Magic To Do,” “Glory,” “No Time at All,” “Morning Glow,” and “Love Song.”

IS PIPPIN FOR KIDS? Debatable. Press materials say ages 8+. I've done some reading and it sounds like this version is appropriate for age 12 at a minimum. Read this article on Broadway.com and make your own decision. That said, I personally can't wait to see the show!
"Kids of all ages will be enthralled by Pippin, but the subject matter is much darker than the version performed in schools, with skimpy costumes, violence and allusions to sex. This production is a great one for teens, but see the musical first before letting your little ones join the circus." Broadway.com
