I saw this tonight 5-16-25. Was pretty excited given the stacked creative team and the cast. Unfortunately, this fell completely flat for me. Not being familiar with the source material, I found the characters underdeveloped and the piece lacking a drive behind it. Hopefully they continue to work on the pacing, which felt very uneven. Frankly, the show could probably be tightened into a 90-100 minute one act. Purportedly it is a family comedy and while there are some laughs here and there, th...

Has anybody seen the newly configured tour since it opened in October? Are there any significant changes?

"I Got Love" - Purlie

Attended the show last night for the last 2014 performance. I felt overall the show was enjoyable and funny, but not perfect. I disagree that the projections made the show feel cheap; there were plenty of physical set pieces and the projections blended well. It was fun to see how many different things emerged from the elevator. I enjoyed the lighting and costume design as well.

Can anybody who's been comment on the view from their seats? I know the mezzanine partially obstructs the view of the top of proscenium opening near the rear of the orchestra. Is that an issue for this one? I'm looking at seats in row M center or row K side.

Apparently the Sitzprobe was today and Jackie Hoffman tweeted that the orchestra is 30 pieces! Now *that* is something to be excited about!

Ep.2 has a short slip of Ciara rehearsing Glory. She sounds fantastic!

"BroadwayWorld has confirmed with a PIPPIN representative that Miller will not be departing the Tony-winning revival to film the movie." ^That's in the article. So obviously she'll be out for a bit, but back. Anyway, congrats for her!

Both on Letterman and GMA the camera angles did the cast no favors. They missed some key acrobatic moments and focused in strange places at times. I would hope that for the Tonys the crew gets more time to choose and rehearse good angles. The teasers for Pippin are very well captured - so its certainly possible.

I was at a talkback for Pippin on Saturday and Rachel told us she has laryngitis and is trying her best to stay in good voice. I'm sure its temporary.

I am curious as to where the "orchestra" (let's be honest - its a band) is located in this production. It seems like the conductor is the only member visible from the house.
