What people are saying
“Very well done! Great voices!! Great use of the whole stage and loved having a live orchestra. It added another dimension.”
— Denise Blanche
“Fun show, very energetic, well produced.”
— Jack Curley
“I had seen Pippin many years ago, but it was on a big stage. It really made a difference seeing it close up. The characters were more believable or I perceived them as such. Actors and actresses were all great. Singing was good as well. Very enjoyable. I definitely would come to another musical.”
— Barb Youngren
“The show was excellent…silly and fun, loaded with song and dance and creativity! The young (and not so young) actors put their hearts and spirits into it and it was great. There were some very talented players and some very lovely voices! We hope to see some of them again in future musicals. The musicians were also very good. All in all, we enjoyed the production very much and hope the City of Lights will have more such productions!”
— Janet Young
“I was beyond impressed! The theatre is beautiful and every seat is a great seat! The price and ease of purchasing tickets could not be more convenient. I was blown away by the production and plan on becoming a regular attendee for future productions.”
— Norm Lippelt
“My husband and I went to the local Pippin musical, Saturday, July 26, 2025 for a date. I have previously seen Pippin in NYC so I was excited to enjoy some local theatre with my hunny. We thoroughly enjoyed the show! The actors, props, and music were all amazing! My favorite was Pippin's grandma - I would listen to her all day. She was incredible! I really appreciated being able to support the local theatre at a price that is affordable. My husband and I have already signed up for more local theatre to see a show a month! As a graduate of WIU School of Music, it was a breath of fresh air to see theatre again. I truly miss singing and being in plays! Snaps to you all!”
— Summer Luber
“City of Lights’ production of Pippin was fantastic! Talented and energetic cast and musicians who worked well together to provide an evening of song, dance, acrobatics and magic! I left Aurora hopeful with a smile on my face.”
— Mary Roemer
