Pippin Tickets

I saw this show in the 70's and loved its rebirth. The cast sparkled!

My party and I really enjoyed Pippin! It had a great story. The only thing I would warn against is I felt strongly that this play is not kid friendly.

I know it has now closed in Boston. It wouldn't take too much for something better to come in it's place. I didn't enjoy this theater experience much and I've seen quite a few plays of late. It just seemed misdirected, unfocused. While some praise the Cirque du Soleil going on, it really didn't seem in step with the story itself; it served only as a distraction. The King was fairly good (I know he was formerly Pippin with Ben Vereen) and I did enjoy Adrienne (sp?) Barbeau; especially the trapeze. Unreal she is 70; she still looks great! I just felt that most of the supporting cast was very weak; there was no "standout" song that brought the house down, nothing that added to the story line While Pippin was searching for himself and thought he would find it with what seemed exciting; it ends with him finding ordinary life kind of satisfactory (or did he?). It was hard to tell. There was NO finale, something to remember on your way home. The girl who played his "ordinary girlfriend" with the son reminded me of high school plays. The show needs some pizzazz; the moves are there I guess, but no one seemed all that excited to be there (the show ensemble). Even the talented circus performers (for lack of a better word) couldn't save this one. I left not liking it much at all; and I tried to like it.

This show will always be my favorite show. There are so many layers to it and the show takes on completely different meanings depending on how you look at it and how you interpret the lyrics (especially the Leading Player's). This show is not only a musical, but a circus act, with talented, powerful people doing wonderfully crazy things onstage. Come see the show and have the amazing songs stuck in your head for months.

My mom and I have never been to the Boston Opera House, may I say it was absolutely breath taking in there!!!! The musical started right on time, and right from the get go we were hooked in. The leading lady was FANTASTIC! She was funny, witty and had an amazing voice. Pippin was unbelievably cute and also had a great voice!!! The acrobatics were UNREAL, the choreography was fantastic, if I could of afforded seeing it the other showings it was open that weekend I would have gone again. SO SO GOOD!!!!!

This show is another one of Stephen Schwartz's (Wicked) masterpieces. It was wonderful to see the original Pippin, John Rubinstein, as Charles. No one could ever replace, Irene Ryan, the original Berthe but Adrienne Barbeau, gave a very nice performance. Brian Flores, Pippin, is very talented and this is the first of many roles he will have in what I suspect will be a long career on Broadway. Sabrina Harper as Fastrada and Bradley Benjamin as Catherine gave inspired performances. My son took us to the show on Saturday evening in Boston. I was unsure of how it would be to see a female leading player. Gabrielle McClinton embodied everything Ben Vereen did as the original leading player back in 1972. I am not able to afford to see many productions but I liked Pippin so much that the day after the show, I purchased tickets to see it again the following week. If you like Steven Schwartz's music and Bob Fosse's choreography, you will love Pippin!

This show was interesting but it was really choppy. I think they tried to pack too much into the show. It was a play, a musical, a magic show, it was a circus, it was acrobatics, it was TOO MUCH. Everything was done OK but nothing was GREAT!

Although it was well acted, I didn't feel that the story was that compelling. Also, the music was good, but not memorable. This is the first time I've been to a play, where while the cast came out to take their bows, people were leaving in droves.

Fast paced musical with something for everyone from show stopping numbers to a moving finale. Did not like the story line, but loved all of the circus like ensemble acts. Loaded with talent and star studded, too! A Broadway Classic that should not be missed.

The show was awesome and funny ,will definitely recommended to go see it ,if u into those kind of activity

My 12-yr-old granddaughter and I saw Pippin last week. There was not one minute of down-time. It was action packed from the moment the lights went down until the curtain dropped. Acrobatics, dance, song and magic made the show one of the best ever.

The first thing people ask when I say I saw Pippin is, "What's it about?" That is hard to fully describe because it is theatre on many levels. It is a musical with catchy, memorable tunes; it is a show full of illusion and acrobatics to rival Cirque du Soleil; it is a thoughtful drama about life and self-discovery. There were quite a few people who brought small children; there is adult language and some scenes that might not be considered appropriate for them. Adrienne Barbeau is wonderful in her role as the grandmother. Those who remember her as Maude's daughter will marvel at her acrobatic skills at age 70! Overall, Pippin is a great experience.

I saw Pippin in the past, and was worried it would be a repeat. But it was far more than a repeat. The acrobatics and gymnastics were incredible. The actors were all amazing, very experienced. Overall, fantastic show.

This show captures you from start to finish! Phenomenal cast tells the story of Pippin with fabulous color, voices, dance, costume changes and acrobatics! Kudos...Beautifully done!

I love Diane Paulus's work and the concept for this revival of Pippin sounded exciting and fresh. I saw it with a friend and we were both so disappointed! Admittedly, I knew virtually nothing about the play itself. The worst part was the score: The songs were blah, and I left the theatre without one song in my head. I could not hum even one the next day. The singing was not bad, but did not quite fill the large Opera House as well as it should have. The acting itself was good but not outstanding. I did enjoy the acrobatics, etc., but that should have complemented an otherwise good show, not be the best part. In a season of great shows (Waitress, Beautiful, Once), this was the low point by far.

Great Show, Great Actors and Great Music. not for kids under 13

Pippin was incredible!!! I went with my 2 friends, and we all enjoyed the show. I was impressed with the acrobatics at times you didn't know who you should be watching! Brian Flores (Pippin) & Gabrielle McClinton (Leading player) were my 2 favorites. They were both very good in their parts and had very good voices. My favorite songs are magic to do, corner of the sky, glory, simple joys, morning glow! I would definitely recommend it!

A much appreciated update to an exciting but predictable musical if you've been before. All the performers - the Leading Player, Pippin, the Kng (the original Pippin) and especially Berthe were all wonderful. The magic, illusions and gymnastics were like watching Cirque de Soleil. My biggest gripe is with the theatre. The ushers were snarly and their union contracts must allow them to be drunk on the job. The seating is horrible. We were in the front part of the left mezzanine - fantastic view of the full stage, faces, everything -- all except for the fact that the seats are arranged such that even a medium height person was right in the middle of my line of view. Other seats could see between seats in front, not mine - this guy was straight in front. For $120 plus ticketmaster fees, I expected a much better experience.

Pippin is a wonderful show. There are lots of theatrics, magic, cirque type, Fosse type numbers. See it, you won't be disappointed!

Very entertaining show with interesting magical scenes. Andrienne Barbeau was fantastic and quite possibly stole the show!
