For years people around the world have been laughing over Pippi’s outrageous escapades. In writing this play, I tried to give depth to Pippi’s adventures while remaining true in ambiance to Ms. Lindgren’s original style. Although not prevalent in the books, I chose as my theme "the importance of discovering and nurturing your real self." This fantastical musical is chocked full of fun and suitable for a large cast. The music is varied and in no particular style, as are Ms. Lindgren’s stories. The set can be great fun to create. Full of color and texture, this is a favorite of many!
