Paulus’ dazzling circus-inspired take on Stephen Schwartz and Roger O. Hirson’s 1970s musical began life at American Repertory Theater prior to its celebrated Broadway transfer. Miller made history as the first woman to portray Pippin’s Leading Player on Broadway. The role was originated by fellow Tony winner Ben Vereen.

Miller will be reunited with several cast members from the revival, including Tony nominee Terrence Mann and Matthew James Thomas, who starred in the title role.

ExtraOrdinary celebrates ten years of musical theatre at the American Repertory Theater, which includes Waitress, The Great Comet, and Jagged Little Pill.

The cast will also feature Kathryn Gallagher (Jagged Little Pill), Melody Betts (Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert), Brandon Michael Nase (The Black Clown), and Bryonha Marie Parham (The Gershwins' Porgy and Bess).
