Days before Christmas, George’s boss at Hammerschidt’s Parfumerie fires him after mistakenly suspecting him to be the lover of his unfaithful wife. Meanwhile, George’s own love life goes awry when he discovers that the stranger he has fallen in love with through a secret correspondence is none other than Amalia Balash, a co-worker with whom he constantly feuds. For the employees of the Parfumerie, only the truth can lead to a happy resolution in this old-fashioned, romantic Christmas tale. This version of the story was adapted by E.P. Dowdall from the play Parfumerie, originally written by his uncle Miklós László. This is the original play that the Musical She Loves Me and the movies, The Little Shop Around the Corner and You’ve Got Mail spun off from.

With an infectiously unforgettable score from four-time Grammy winner, three-time Oscar winner and musical theatre giant, Stephen Schwartz, Pippin is the story of one young man’s journey to be extraordinary. Winner of four 2013 Tony Awards including Best Musical Revival, this updated circus-inspired version of Pippin continues to captivate and appeal to the young at heart throughout the world.

Heir to the Frankish throne, the young prince Pippin is in search of 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.

Special Offer: All tickets $19 for Thursday, October 1 at 7:30pm (No code needed!)
ASL-interpreted performance available Saturday, September 26 at 7:30pm

Tickets for shows at Bowie Playhouse are $30.00 for General Admission, $27.00 for seniors (60 and over), military and full time students, and $19 for Children 11 and under. Buy tickets here.
