Show was an excellent production. Cast was outstanding. We especially enjoyed seeing Adrienne Barbeau as Berthe. I do miss having a "full" orchestra at the shows instead of just keyboards, drums and guitars.
The show was very entertaining, great music, acrobatics, costuming and the story line was very easy to follow. Also love the Opera House
Well this production did not live up to my expectations. I thought that there would be much more circus type acts. Also thought that the overall play would be for an adult audience, instead it came across as a play for very young children. Left right after the start of the second act.
Great show - very enjoyable! Kudos to Adrienne Barbeau! Actor who played Pippin was great as was the whole ensemble!
Pippin is a charming show. The story follows a young man who believes he can do better than living an ordinary life, and who learns what truly matters to him; all the while he is being coaxed by a cirque de soleil style acrobatic troupe who bring thrills to every moment. The dancing and the tricks were superb. The lead singer is just mediocre and her opening number made us worry the show would be disappointing. But the company bolstered her weakness with enthusiasm and dance. We were able to "wow" about the high wire acts and acrobatic tricks and pay less attention to the songs. Time flew during Pippin. Emotional and moving scenes were well-done. Silly, fun scenes were fantastic. Adrienne Barbeau as the grandmother had us believing she was older, pretty and wise, and then she blew us away with her surprising scene that made the show worth the price.
Visually this musical was very stimulating and entertaining. However the story line, or lack there of, left much to be desired. The costumes, acrobatics and voices of the ensemble were fantastic. It was obvious how incredibly talented the cast was. The story itself was impossible to follow and the promised finale climax was a huge let down and honestly put a damper on the whole experience. Another thing to note was the fact that the sexual scenes sprinkled throughout the performance was completely unnecessary and seemed like it was thrown in to add some shock value that seemed so out of place.
The theme of the Pippen will always remain timeless as will the music, and the lyrics . Superb cast. Amazing acrobatics!
pippin was a very enjoyable show,a must see.the lead player Gabrielle,you have a great future in front of you.i seen the play in new york years ago with ben vereen.i enjoy both.Thanks so much ladys and gents
One of Stephen Schwartz' richest scores, Diane Paulus makes it magical and the re-imagined Bob Fosse choreography dazzles. A top notch cast sings, dances and yes; defies gravity.
Seats were great, actors top notch. Acoustics were wonderful. I'll remember this production with a smile!
Unbelievable from beginning to end! Not for children under 14.
Unexpected surprise by repetitive sexual references including one scene with simulated sex act on stage in cage. Made both my wife and I very uncomfortable and decided to leave at intermission. Wasn't really familiar with what to expect but with what research we did before and even after seeing show to see if we missed something, it all sounded good and surprised that there was no mention or warning anywhere that show may not be suitable for all theatre goers. I don't think we were alone as there were several who brought their kids to this show. My wife talked with co-worker who went to next day weekend showing and was also surprised by what she saw. Don't usually write reviews but thought I needed to put this out there for those who may be uncomfortable with this type of subject matter and not fall into same trap we did.
I hadn't seen this musical since I was part of the performance in high school 13 years ago...it was just as entertaining as I remember and they did a spectacular job with the stunts!!
This was our second time seeing Pippin, with a different cast from the first aside from a few of the acrobatic performers and Charlemagne (John Rubinstein). We arrived just as the lights fell and the silhouette of the Leading Player appeared on the curtains. I anxiously awaited the initial curtain drop and from that point on, I was enthralled in the story once more. The acrobatics were breathtaking and impressive. The jugglers, balancers and dancers were all in sync. The singers all had very strong and distinct voices. I was thrilled to see Priscilla Lopez as Berthe, who also originated the role of Morales in A Chorus Line. Gabrielle McClinton was a strong Leading Player, able to match my previously established love of the character by Ben Vereen and Patina Miller. I was particularly impressed by Brian Flores as Pippin who made his theater debut quite well in this role. And of course John Rubinstein will always be my favorite Charles for both his talent and his history with the musical. Overall it was an excellent performance and the audience we were in enjoyed all of the laughs and music.
Absolutely LOVED the first act!! Second started positive but then like a plane on fire went downhill fast ..Where the performers did an incredible job the direction and story fell flat.
Enjoyed this revival as much as the original I saw on Broadway 40 years ago!
2 1/2 hrs of fun and excitement! Funny, exciting and amazing!
Quite different from your standard musical. Very enjoyable and the boy gets girl in the end made his life worthwhile!!!
It was an Amazing Show. Extraordinarily surprising FINALE!
I would definitely go see Pippin again. There's so much going on and keeps the audience well focused.
