Pippin Rehearsal

Okay, I'm a shill...but I need to tell you all about a little something. Pippin is going to be incredible.

Sitting in rehearsal yesterday and today, hearing the choir of 80 singing "Rivers Belong Where They Can Ramble..." a cappella...stunning. Mark Hartman is a phenomenal musical director.

Then today, some scene and song work with the uber-talented Charles Busch in rehearsal with the hot chorus boys often discussed here on the board was brilliant. The lovely Laura Benanti as Catherine...outstanding. and of course our Pippin, Michael Arden -- singing Corner of the Sky gave me chills. Does anyone know how many times I have heard this song? or sung it for that matter? He's incredible...and Kate Shindle...not only a lovely producing talent, but very funny...girl sings her face off.

Anyway...another little shameless plug. Hope you'll all be there!

XX, J

Sounds like this will be AMAZING! Michael will be incredible, I have no doubt, and the rest of the cast will be great as well. They better record it!

Maybe Jamie can have it taped for Broadwayworld Radio for those of us that can not afford tickets.

Is anyone else still waiting for the surprises.

I cannot wait for this! Thank you so much for offering the discounted obstructed view seats for those of us who can't spare several hundred dollars, even for this great cause. I might not be able to see the stage but I'll be thrilled hearing it!

I would be there if I could!! Damn law school. Finals are fast approaching and a trip to NYC will not help with the studying. I hope there will be a DVD or CD released though. I will certainly buy it, especially if it were to further benefit the National AIDS Fund.

What does everyone think the surprises will be? I hope that Ben Vareen will show up and do something.
