Music and Lyrics by Stephen Schwartz
Book by Roger O. Hinson
I will admit that I went to “Pippin” with a certain trepidation because it is a difficult show to produce, having an eclectic variety of characters, genres, moods and a heavy emphasis on excellent dancing and singing. I am pleased to state that I thought his production was excellent with wonderful singers and dancers and many sight-gag surprises.
Show director Matthew Wilson achieves a strong tone throughout the show, which is trickier than it might appear as the show rollercoasters through humor and sincerity. The brisk pace of the show makes the two-and-a-half-hour show (with intermission) fly by, all the way up until the simple yet profound conclusion.
Pippin was brilliant directing. It was beautifully cast and a fresh look at a show with some timeless messages.
Got to have a sneak peek preview of Pippin before I skip town! Powerhouse choreo, direction, and performances!! Cincy, make sure you check out this sizzler of a show!
