@britishpenguins21 there's an entire scene after this song that would be odd to cut I think... also there is an act 1 finale in the script, why cut it out?
When my high school first heard we were doing Pippin, we were not at all excited; horrified in fact. We just finished performing it a week or 2 ago, and it was by far one of my favorite plays to ever be a part of. The music is phenomenal, and its a load of fun to act in. I hope I get to be a part of a Pippin cast again in the future. (reppin King Charlemagnes everywhere!)
@Kutazing you and me both! This was my favorite song in the whole show. It was my last in my senior year, and my best friend played Pippin. Watching him walk up the platform and block my view of the lights put me in a sobfest every night.
I hated this show when I saw it in 1973. Hated it more when I was in a production in 1979. And there is a good reason it has not been revived. It ran 5 years and would seem to be a ripe for a new production but it simply stinks and is so dated.
My high school is singing this song in our Christmas program this year. Just on YouTube looking up the show. It looks great! I can't wait to find this DVD.
Could you possibly post the scene right after this one? Up until the "Don't let it happen again" line? That would be great if you could! I can't find it anywhere. Thanks! Angela
did this in 1983 and still remember all the songs. top musical and timeless songs.if you like michael jacksons version then try supremes singing i guess ill miss the man.
My school did this musical 25 years ago. I was Bertha and it was one of the best experiences of my life. I am now 42 and Pippin will always have a special place in my heart. Thank you for posting, BestArtsMusic!
@atncc1701 I was Fastrada in my community's rendition of this. SO MUCH FUN! I'd never even heard of Pippin before then. But like you said, it has a special place in my heart too now! =)
@atncc1701 I was a musical fan from elementary school. I think drama programs can do a lot of positive things for children that last their entire life time.
My school just got done doing this play about a week ago! Damn it feels weird not having it be there everyday...yet I still find myself and some of my fellow cast men singing this under our breath in the hall!^^
HeY Ihave a get idea for an amazing production, but it would cost a whole lot more than a normal broadway production, and it wouldn't "really" be on broadway, but it would be very tourable!
@NicoleJade5 I know this was posted 2 years ago, but I believe they are! Unless, of course, it was a lie... Which would make me very, VERY sad that I was lied to.
@NicoleJade5 I couldn't agree more, pippin is probably my absolute favorite musical and I just can't get enough every year now I am going to all the high school musicals just to see it live.
@NicoleJade5 realistically though, no one's going to watch this, when you've got to compete with wicked, spiderman, lion king, and phantom to name a few, not to mention next years RENT, and this years godspell revival, and billy elliot.
i was theo in pippin as a kid and this was my favorite song ever! of coarse i didn;t really understand but now that i've gotten older i lov eit so much!!
I had never seen this musical, and only knew this song from an OLD Michael Jackson recording (which he sang beautifully when he was probably 15 or so). I am also a William Katt fan so now I'm gonna watch the whole musical on you tube. Thanks for posting this!
I was a monk in this play mnk 3 and three girls played the monks me and my friends it was so awesome i wish that it never had to end I miss it so much!!! T_T =)
