“Pippin is the best production I’ve seen at NCRT.
Pippin hits all the right marks. They’ve got magic to do – and they do it.”

Directed by Nick Degruccio, Pippin is a magical burlesque- style must-see. It is shiningentertainment wrapped in enthusiasm.
Kathy Carpenter, La Splash Magazine
The rock-solid cast is in the excellent hands of Nick DeGruccio.
Lynn Friedman, Culture Vulture
Pippin has always been one of my favorite musicals and, scaled down and so much more intimate, this production is, unexpectedly, even more poignant and relatable. In fact, it may be the first time I really understood the deeper meaning of the show.
Lois Alter Mark, Forbes
With an immensely talented cast of twelve actors, several of whom are making their North Coast Rep debut, director Nick DeGruccio delivers this beautiful tale of self-discovery. The energy, vibrancy, and thrum of excitement set the stage for this stellar show.
