(MARGATE, NJ) -- Fool Moon Theatre Company presents Stephen Schwartz’s classic musical Pippin across two weekends (July 18-20 and July 25-27, 2025) at Margate Community Church. 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. It's South Jersey's must-see show for summer 2025.
There's “magic to do” when a prince learns the true meaning of glory, love, and war in this iconic and unforgettable Broadway musical masterpiece. With an infectiously memorable 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.
“Pippin is an amazing musical—full of powerful and poignant music, flashy Bob Fosse-style choreography, theatrical whimsy and, of course, magic,” said Director Paul Herron. “All these elements tell a coming-of-age story of a young man searching for the meaning in life. It’s charming, satiric, wacky, and full of brilliant songs and amazing dances. We are lucky to have a cast who could do the show justice.”
Topping the cast as Pippin is Nick Efstatos, last seen in Fool Moon’s Clue, as well as Fool Moon veterans Satya Byers as the Leading Player, Mike Moore as King Charles, Rosanna Consalvo Sarto as Fastrada, and Chikita Wallace as Berthe. The ensemble is made up of multiple talented young performers. Theater veteran Joe Lazarus designed and created the set, while Rob Tucker serves as musical director and Francesca Merlino, choreographer.
Performances take place Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30pm and Sundays at 2:00pm. Tickets are $35 regular admission, $30 for seniors and $25 students. Tickets are available for purchase online. Cash, check, credit cards, and Venmo will be accepted at the door. Margate Community Church is located at 8900 Ventnor Avenue in Margate, New Jersey. The door is on Thurlow Avenue.

“Pippin is one of the most intriguing musicals ever written," said Herron. "At its heart, Pippin is a magical parable about how to stay true to oneself.”
