the wink at the finale, by playing with a small flame, is brilliant

@InnerCityGirl1 2 года назад

Love love LOVE the lead man's voice!

@alexvokoun9272 2 года назад

It’s like they combined Pippin with Godspell’s style. I really dig it.

@Marcel_Audubon Год назад

and Hair and kumbaya, too ... thumbs down 👎

@Freddie10ification Год назад

Makes sense Same composer , time period etc .,, 70’s we’re great!! A evolving and powerful time period of culture

@kennrothman205 Год назад

WOW! AMAZING! On my side of the pond, I was involved with a production of PIPPIN. We had gone through auditions, casting, rehearsals, set building, costumes and even tech week. AND THEN...AND THEN...AND GENTLEMEN AND THEN....48 hours before opening curtain...COVID shut us and the world down. Not even MAGIC could help us then.

I like this interpretation of my favorite number from PIPPIN. I especially like the staging, dancing and Leading Player's performance.

@tomshea8382 Год назад

"We can't get Hair." "How about Godspell?" "Nope." "What can we get?" "Pippin's available." "Well. we have all this 70s looking stuff. Might as well."

@cw9817 Год назад

I love a) the greater adherence to the original production, eliminating the circus motif of last decade's revival (a motif that I loved in its own right); b) the sun on the floor of the stage; and c) most of all, the fact that the play starts with Pippin and the players sing *to him,* pointing to the climactic revelation that the troupe is part of his imagination. I hope this production ditched the Theo ending, which isn't bad but is superfluous given the finale's revelation.

@j.r.cilliangreen4083 Год назад

They are referred to as the “demons “ so they might not be part of his imagination

@cw9817 Год назад

@@j.r.cilliangreen4083, not in the original Pippin script, which my high-school theater group used in 1983. I probably still have that script somewhere.

@eandttruelove Год назад

I know those were additions but they are what made me fall in love with Pippin. The original was okay, Ben Vereen was Amazing, but much of the rest and especially the end fell flat for me. It will be interesting to see this version. I hope it meets somewhere in the middle.

@georgia.newman Год назад

i really liked the circus theme

@kevinalanmattson 2 месяца назад

Musical production is nicely updated.

@scottgranell6191 2 года назад

the lead showed that someone could sing this and not have you think of Ben Vereen, qmqzing, he has magic to do.

@Marcel_Audubon Год назад

pretty sure a couple of ladies already showed us that in 2013

@scottgranell6191 Год назад

agreed...thsat role has not to have the biggest sxhoes to fill, but the talent doe s nto need to steal ben's shoes but wear their own :)

Wish they had a few more company members to give more fullness to the number

@kev7161 5 месяцев назад

I was thinking the exact same thing. It sounded a little thin.

Saw this today and it’s incredible!!!

@lagrangeleo 10 месяцев назад

Seeing the cast coming on stage, was expecting them to break out into "The Age of Aquarius" from Hair!!

This is the West End version? 😬 West End of where? Saskatchewan?

@ZenArcher9091 Год назад

no drums, no horns??????

@haineshisway 5 месяцев назад

Whatever one thinks of the concept, and I do like seeing them not do watered down Fosse, a note to the director of the video itself - one word: GEOGRAPHY! If we don't know the geography, none of his makes sense.

@manveersoor1042 2 года назад

I won't lie, the west end let us down with this version

@petertrei Год назад

I saw Pippin in 1974 on Broadway. This is nice, but does not compare.

@lastmatinee 2 месяца назад

I am honestly struggling with this version. The cast is talented, no doubt. I'm just not sure if I agree with the Direction.

@HE65432 Год назад

I wasn't expecting screaming guitars. What happened to the pleasant instruments?

@j.r.cilliangreen4083 Год назад

A lesson in why summoning the Fae night not be such a great idea…

@scottgranell6191 Год назад

with all due repsect to the urrnet broadway cats, THISD is the obly pippin that comes close to the rpoginal, because it understodd that while schwartz wrote the music, FOPSSE defined the mood, NOT cioque du sol;iel

@dukeofkings8942 3 месяца назад

did you write this while having a stroke

@RheaIR 2 года назад

The one I didn't get to see.. If it's the one that did some outside shows that they wouldn't let parties of 1 to :( looking at it, I think it is.

@RheaIR Год назад

It was. Now seen more. Very happy. :D

@Marcel_Audubon Год назад

They wouldn't sell single tickets? 😖

@JayJasperLondon 3 года назад

Shame they never answer when u call their ticket line ☹️

@FidesAla 2 года назад

Making the troupe leader shippy with Pippin does not work at all unless they give the ending a complete 180, because the whole ending is that the performers are more-or-less evil and leading him to destruction, and that a "normal" life without making waves should be satisfying for anyone... I was so disappointed in that when I saw it on Broadway. But I'm glad the productions here in Japan are doing what Broadway did. I only know Crystal Kay from the 2003 Fullmetal Alchemist, but... (Speaking of which, FMA deserves a good stage play and it hasn't gotten one yet...)

@YooTuba 8 месяцев назад

I like this better than the overdone circus hooha, but the ensemble being small and all young athletic types is missing the diversity I'd expect to see with a roving bunch of players. It kind of looks like a high school for the performing arts production.

@scottgranell6191 2 года назад

I love how the dancers define the stage..That is what Fosse did, and the better pippins do, though boradway...well, they get too ciorque du solil about it

@Marcel_Audubon Год назад

This needs a little Cirque... I wonder why they threw in those acrobatic moves in at the very end? just to show how unCirque they are? Mission: accomplished!
