		Goodspeed has traditionally been an acoustic venue, but when the artistic team chose to stage the gospel musical "Abyssinia" in its fall schedule, they knew the time had come for a serious upgrade to their audio system.
		One drawback to a venue as intimate as Goodspeed is that the space permits only an eight-piece orchestra (including a synthesizer) and they are required to play at a low volume in order for the voices to be properly heard.
		Now, with the ability to mike the full cast, the troupe will no longer be dependent on maintaining a delicate acoustic balance between orchestra and actors, allowing both actors and orchestra to perform to their full abilities.

	Review: 'Pippin'
		Although first produced on Broadway in 1972, Pippin, the rollicking musical about war against the Visigoths, is as thematically up to date as the war against…well, choose one.
		Goodspeed Musicals' production is flavorsome but gimmicky, colorful but disjointed.
		Here at Goodspeed, however, there is an intermission, with the result that the production emphasizes how much less interesting Act II is as Pippin, longing for domesticity, is smitten by a man-hungry woman and, despite their lovemaking, remains unfulfilled.

		Goodspeed Musicals' revival of "Pippin" digs ever deeper into its bag of theater tricks, some taken from the original 1972 production.
