Review of Pippin: His Life and Times

I thought the movie was hysterical. I thought William Katt was amazing as Pippin... he has a great voice. And Ben Verene? Yes. Amazing. I agree though- the orgy scene- oh my goodness. Way too much. But seeing as they're a Broadway company I guess they're able to do that. Two of our area high schools are planning on doing this show in the next year and I cannot imagine how they are going to be able do get it approved by the school board! Its a good laugh. I suggest it to anyone over the age of 13 who isn't too squeamish. I didn't know anything about Theo's duck dying. That's sad. And the bed scene is so funny... I don't see how the production could be done without it! Good luck pulling that off. All in all I think it was a challenging production that was done in a creative and classy way.
