The Broadway Sitzprobe Experience will showcase a performance of 'Pippin' on May 2, 2025, at 2:00 PM ET, free and open to the public.

This event will take place at the Library for the Performing Arts, located at 111 Amsterdam Avenue, New York, and will also be livestreamed on StarsInTheHouse.com.

The performance will be live streamed by Stars in the House, allowing a wider audience to enjoy the show.

The orchestra for this performance will be composed of members from Musicians United for Social Equity (MUSE) and Maestra Music, alongside several prominent Broadway vocalists.

An open call for MUSE and Maestra instrumentalists led to the selection of 20 musicians, providing them with invaluable experience in a Broadway setting.

Conceived by Seth Rudetsky, the initiative aims to increase diversity in orchestras by mentoring musicians and creating opportunities to perform with Broadway professionals.

Rudetsky emphasizes the importance of mentorship from veteran musicians to prepare new talent for Broadway, fostering a more diverse community in the arts.

A sitzprobe is a crucial rehearsal where the cast sings with the orchestra for the first time, integrating both elements for the performance.

Notable cast members for this performance include Andrea Martin reprising her Tony-winning role as Berthe and Terrence Mann as Charlemagne.

The 'Pippin' performance will be conducted by Julie McBride and feature a talented ensemble of performers.

The original production of 'Pippin' premiered in 1972, directed by Bob Fosse, and won five Tony Awards during its run.

A revival of 'Pippin' in 2013 also featured Andrea Martin and received four Tony Awards, including Best Revival of a Musical.
