Considering the lack of mic’s and Mr Katt having to sing over the brass section that’s BLAIRING his is my favorite version.

@doctortimetv1577 3 года назад

they used stage mics im pretty sure which are on the stage usually close in shape to the stage to blend in. these are called omni directional microphones.

@@katherine9109close in shape for the microphones on the stage . This means the microphones are flat or as close to that shape as possible . Microphones when possible like all theater equipment is used to enhance a production without making people focus on it. Actors , stage crew create an ancient form of TV the stage is the screen and the objective is to entertain and create an experience "where people can come and waste an hour or two" .

Both Ben Vereen and William Katt starred in tv shows created by the late great Stephen J. Cannell. Ben was in Tenspeed and Brownshoe (1980) and Katt was in Greatest American Hero (1981).

Hey...I sat next to William Katt at a Rick Springfield concert in 1983. I had no idea he was a Broadway star. I just thought it was cool that he was the lead on "The Greatest American Hero." Memories!

@leewitten4758 2 года назад

You can tell this is hard for William Katt to sing, but the gravely sound on the high notes, the falsetto put perfectly at the end, and the surfer dude vibes I get, This is my favorite Pippin bar none. Ben Vereen's and Chita Rivera's look says it all.

@showtunestarpower 11 лет назад

William Katt does a beautiful, heartfelt version of this song!

@MrMrMrprofessor 2 года назад

One of my favorite aspects of this rendition of the song is the fact that the players watch stoically in the background, almost judging him or sizing him up. He's alone despite the fact that the stage is full. I've seen many versions of Pippin where the players get into the song and encourage Pippin...and I really prefer this. It sets up how odd and sinister the players are, and just how different Pippin is from them. I love it.

@melvina628 15 лет назад

William Katt is the son of Barbara Hale, the actress who played Della Street on the TV show Perry Mason. She made that role hers. Iconic.

@dh9690 Год назад

@jerryalicea8897 6 лет назад

Pablo Laucerica - I played Leading Player in the touring company of Pippin as well as the dinner theatre production. Mr Fosse is peobably turning in his grave over the DISASTEROUS revival of the show. In my most honest opinion...it SUCKED!!! The entire inner meaning of who Lead Player was to Pippin as well as the imagined troupe of players is totally lost in the circus environment. Mr. FOSSE explained to us that we were the embodiment of Pippin's inner struggle between his wanting to be extraordinary vs. The Reality of life that it is the simple things that make our lives glorious. Lead Player is Pippin's subconscious who leads him (or rather Pippin leads himself) in the exploration of the many aspects in life (i.e.: war, sex, drugs, politics...only to find in Catherine and her son Theo, that he's happiest when he realizes that that is what makes life extraordinary after all.

@KiraJenLove 12 лет назад

I met William Katt last year (twice!) and he said that he'd be willing to star in an episode of "Glee" if they asked him.

@KiraJenLove 12 лет назад

@Kereak - this was not his first role. he also starred in "Carrie", as her ill-fated prom date Tommy Ross; in "Big Wednesday"; in "First Love"; and "Butch and Sundance: The Early Years" before he did "Pippin".

@joanodom2104 7 месяцев назад

First time I ever saw this show in its entirety was at the Red Barn in Key West, circa1980. Tom Murtha, Joy Hawkins, John Wells and Mimi McDonald! All neighbors of mine, in the theater commune. Great days.

I saw the Broadway production in 1976 with John Rubinstein as Pippin (he also recorded the cast album) and Ben Vereen as the Leading Player. It's what got me hooked on Broadway. William Katt is way better-looking, but I thought Rubinstein was the better singer.

It's an amazing play. TRY OUT FOR IT!!!! the play is about the eldest son of a king who doesn't fit in anywhere. It's really good. The Leading Player is basically the Devil. Which of course makes everything he does really flashy and awesome. XD There's a lot of meanings and lessons you can draw from this play if you think about it. and it's just good even if you don't think about it. XD
