This will be interesting. I am sure he will do fine. I've never really been blown away by anything he's done, but I we will see what he does with the role.

I enjoyed his performance in N2N, so I'd like to see him in Pippin, as well.

Now t/d/b/a haterobics on here.

What do you mean? They've always had a dog- Matthew's own as a matter of fact.

Do you have to have three names in order to get cast as Pippin?

This last episode seems to be the shortest one yet. But, it's cool of Kyle Dean to share his time on PIppin with us. I wish I could be in NYC to see this show again.

I LOVED seeing this- Kyle looks too old and physically off to be Pippin, but he sounds okay- he can't do that ending on Sky like Matthew can but still he's okay. Ciara sounds pretty good too- Patina had a smooth flow (if that makes sense) to the way she sung that Ciara doesn't here, but that will come with time . Orion is just dreamy!!! It's always hard to judge a public appearance performance because they will probably sound different in the show, in costume and all- But this is all I have to go by as of yet, so that's what I am basing it on! LOL.

Kyle looks fine. It's natural that he'll be compared to Matthew, but he has to make the character his own. Also, people who constantly carp about him being old sound like a broken record. Ciara was wonderful in her song. It was a bit scary watching Orion do Rolla Bolla. It's interesting that the comedian did a better job at interviewing than the person on the left. Nice extended talk.

Well, that's how I feel, so that's what I will say- if I sound like a broken record, i'll be that.
