John Dossett Has Magic to Do as he Starts Performances in Pippin on Broadway

John Dossett begins performances on August 26 as Charles in the Broadway production of Pippin. The Tony nominee takes over from John Rubinstein in the Diane Paulus-helmed revival, who is joining the show's national tour.

Dossett was most recently seen on Broadway as Joseph Pulitzer in Newsies. He earned a Tony nomination for his performance as Herbie in Gypsy opposite Bernadette Peters. His additional Great White Way credits include Mamma Mia!, Ragtime and Fifth of July.

Pippin features music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz and a book by Roger O. Hirson and tells the story of a young prince searching for his corner of the sky. In addition to Rubinstein, the current cast includes Kyle Dean Massey as Pippin, Ciara Renee as Leading Player, Priscilla Lopez as Berthe, Charlotte d’Amboise as Fastrada and Rachel Bay Jones as Catherine.
