Pippin 40th Anniv: Scene 4/pt 1-No Time At All & Simple Joys

Scotch'n'Soda's production of Pippin at Carnegie Mellon University. This is a student run theatre production, not the drama department. Scotch'n'Soda premiere the original production of Pippin in 1967 before it went to Broadway.

This is part 1 of scene 4 and has No Time at All and Simple Joys. Just for some clarification: Berthe, Pippin's grandmother, is cross-gender cast and during the song, the chorus is holding up copies of the show's program which contains lyrics to the song for the audience to sing along with.

XD Ahaha, I love the Berthe!!!

Yeah, it was interesting because we auditioned both guys and girls for the part. Obviously we went the male route in the end. :)

I'd say I understand where you're coming from, although I'd say the sound designer failed miserably in getting her voice (which is actually quite good in person) over the mics... So that affected it a bit.

YES! Alex, and he was amazing!

Is the person playing Grandma Bertha...a man?

Does any one have footage of the origional 1960s (I think) version. It started Johnny Farnham. I was too young but my parents saw it.

No it was actually originated by Irene Ryan, who played Granny on The Beverly Hillbilles. She had a low voice. Watch video v=gDShGVsvhh0.

I don't really care for a female LP... she's good, but I like the male LP idea better.

I have to say, this sounds WAY better on guitar.

Was the role originated as a drag role? I'm playing it and it's HELLA LOW for a woman. The lowest note is an E below Middle C.

Finally someone gets the syncopation right and the triplet in "little from". Our school is doing Pippin, and I'm very impressed.
