For me, the one and only Pippin will always be John Rubenstein. I saw him in the original cast--he captured the required innocence needed for the part PERFECTLY.
Regarding show, not one of my favorites, although Bob Fosse had some very creative ideas and Ben Vereen is always a pleasure to watch.
What a shame that Irene Ryan passed away while in show. . .
