2 WHAT'S UP! MARCH 10-16, 2019 APT alters last show O n Feb. 27, the March 3 edition of What's Up! was completed. On Feb. 28, it went to press. And later that afternoon, Arkansas Public Theatre found out it would be changing the last show of its 2019-20 season. Ed McClure, artistic director and one of the founders of the Rogers company, explained that rights for shows can be very "fluid," and "Avenue Q ," having been available previously, suddenly was not. The 2020 summer musical will be "Pippin," which McClure lauds for an "unforgettable score." Winner of four Tony Awards in its 2013 Broadway revival, this updated circus-inspired version follows the young prince Pippin as he seeks fulfillment in the glories of the battlefield, the temptations of the flesh and the intrigues of political power. In the end, though, McClure says, Pippin finds that happiness lies not in extraordinary endeavors, but rather in the extraordinary moments that happen every day. Auditions will be June 15, 2020, with performances July 24-26, July 30-Aug. 2 and Aug. 6-9, 2020.
