Why Not PIPPIN Instead of GODSPELL? — Page 2

Get Ann Reinking to direct a version of Pippin It will be both minimal and Fosse-esque. :p

Seriously, I have never understood Godspell, I just find it one of the most boring shows ever. But that is just me. On the other hand I have always enjoyed Pippin

A PIPPIN revival had been in the works for a few years. Despite everyone's love for it, it is rife with book problems and without a Ben Vereen to carry it off, it's a pretty weak property beyond the score. So, the plan was to re-work the book and generally re-imagine the show... with designs to open in London and bring it over to Broadway depending on the response.

It never quite came together, though, and the project was put on the back burner last year... all but abandoned, basically. It'll be a while before we see a revival. Sorry kids!

My first show ever was Pippin. Godspell is a pretty good show. I'd take a revival of either one, but I'd much prefer Pippin. I'd really love to see that re-imagined actually.
