Alex Dhima of Milton in Boston Children's Theatre's production of PIPPIN July 19 - 21

The winner of four 2013 Tony® Awards, including Best Revival of a Musical, PIPPIN is truly magical and extraordinary!  Boston Children’s Theatre (BCT) is proud to present this thrilling musical to showcase the talents of 11-year old Alex Dhima of Milton.  PIPPIN will be performed July 19 - 21 at The Governor’s Academy in Byfield, MA.

Playing the role of ‘Player’ in the ensemble, Alex has been seen in BCT’s productions of Legally Blonde and Footloose.  With EPOCH Assisted Living, he appeared in The Pledge and in The Fairy Tale at the Brookline Library.  He can be seen in the films Family Problems, Red Circles and Heartbeats and Christmas Trees and on television in a Care.com commercial and in an educational video entitled Thing Big.  He is a student at Collicot Elementary School.

 With a score by Stephen Schwartz, composer of Godspell and Wicked, and book by Roger O. Hirson, PIPPIN follows a young man on his journey to find meaning in his life. Will he choose a happy, simple existence or risk everything for a moment of glory?  Featuring such songs as “Corner of the Sky,” “Magic to Do,” “Glory,” and “Morning Glow,” PIPPIN is directed by Lisa Yuen, director of BCT’s 2012 Studio 3 production of Legally Blonde, with choreography by Blair Beasley and Brianna Fallon, and music direction by Jaime Castellanos.
