From The Voice to the Big Top! Josh Kaufman Will Have 'Magic to Do' in Broadway's Pippin

The Voice Season 6 winner Josh Kaufman will take center stage at the Music Box Theatre as the titular prince in Pippin. Kaufman will begin performances on November 4 and play a limited engagement through January 4, 2015. He steps in for Broadway.com video blogger Kyle Dean Massey, who will take his final bow on November 2.

Kaufman will make his Broadway debut in the Stephen Schwartz tuner. He was crowned the winner of the sixth season of the NBC hit in May, having been coached by Grammy winner Usher.

With a score by Schwartz and a book by Roger O. Hirson, Pippin tells the story of a young prince searching for his corner of the sky. In addition to Massey, the current cast includes Tony winner Andrea Martin, John Dossett, Charlotte d’Amboise and Rachel Bay Jones. Carly Hughes will begin performances as the Leading Player beginning September 19. The Tony-winning revival is directed by Diane Paulus.
