THE PIPPIN TOUR IS DEDICATED TO THE MEMORY OF RANDY WEEKS (1955–2014)
This touring production of Pippin began its magical journey at the Buell Theatre in
Denver, Colorado under the guidance of Randy Weeks. We owe him a huge debt
of gratitude. He was such a fan of our show and part of it belongs to him. Sadly on
Thursday, October 9, the theatre lost one of its fiercest advocates, one of our finest
colleagues, and a dear friend. We are honored to be a part of his extraordinary legacy!
