Magic To Do

Magic To Do is the opening number of Stephen Schwartz’s Pippin, serving as a fourth-wall breaking invitation to the audience to stick around and watch the show unfold. The song is performed by the Leading Player, accompanied by the ensemble players and some of the leads, such as Fastrada and Charlemagne.
