The national touring production of ‘Pippin’ launched in Denver this week. Here is a video roundup of what some of the opening-night audiences thought of the first performance of the Stephen Schwartz-Bob Fosse classic outside of New York since Director Diane Paulus, Choreographer Chet Walker and Circus Creator Gypsy Snider re-imagined the story of the Prince’s search for meaning as taking place under the Big Top. Some of the adjectives invoked: Breathtaking, phenomenal, colorful, spectacular and fantastical. Video by David Lenk for the Denver Center for the Performing Arts.
