| Playbill: Pippin |
Accompanied by: Me, Myself, & I
Found myself with a free evening so made a last minute decision to hit the TKTS booth and grab a ticket to Pippin per my Grandmother's glowing recommendation. Got my sippy cup of wine and bag of Twizzlers (aka Dinner) and settled in for a night of "Entertainment with a Capital E" as my Grandma described it. And boy was she right. I somehow have had very little exposure to Pippin, so besides for the first bit of the opening number the music and plot were all totally new to me.
Now, the plot is…odd. But you barely notice because of all the spectacle around. The decision to embrace the circus theme with a Cirque du Soleil type vibe ended up working very well here. Oh and Patina Miller? Holy cow. I could watch her do ANYthing for 2 hours. She's fantastic and if she doesn't get the Tony it will be an absolute crime.
