THIS IS NOT BEN VEREEN. NO. this fails.

I watched this yesterday at the Menier Playhouse in London and it was incredible. Really, if you have the chance, go see it. Phenomenal performances and inspirational reimagining. A far cry from the slightly watered down, "kiddified" high school versions.

@houseofel27 Wooo yeah! It is a brilliant production.

Pippin is due for a Broadway revival.

sang this song 4 years ago in high school, still know every word. My favorite song from all of high school chorus!

Just seems hopelessly dated and a bit twee. Never liked the show much, music-wise not up to the genius of his Godspell or Wicked.

@inhighspeed It's funny that you should call it twee, because I've always disliked it because I found it weirdly unsettling. Or maybe I'm just associating it with the performance I did at my vaguely-creepy theater camp...

My niece just performed her first High School Musical and it was Pippin. She was focused and entertaining. I was so proud, and it made me feel, like wow, she's doing what I loved to do and now it's her turn, just like Pippin to the little boy and his duck. Magical!

I Love the Melody. a Nice Hip-Hop Jazz Feeling :)

@sinnia12 It is wonderful. It remains one of Broadway's best opening numbers.
