Hiro Sake Celebrates Pippin Revival on Broadway

Broadway musical Pippin opened on April 25, and Hiro Sake hosted the post-event celebration. It was a star-studded evening with luminaries of both stage and screen in attendance, including Ricky Martin, Debra Messing, Jane Krakowski, Martin Short, Victor Garber, and Ben Vereen, who starred in the original Broadway production that premiered in 1972.

One of the show’s producers is Carlos Arana, the co-founder and CEO of Hiro Sake, makers of super-premium Japanese sake from Niigata Prefecture. The award-winning brand brought the show’s carnival theme to life, with models in circus-like dress serving signature Hiro Sake cocktails.
