	Pippin: Historically Speaking
		Initially, Pippin was designed to be a medieval-style pageant presented by a troupe of wandering players; the leader of which was to be an elderly man. When Fosse was hired to direct, a much younger man-a dancer-from the film version of Sweet Charity was contacted for the audition.
		Pippin is led through a series of experiences throughout the journey of the play reminiscent of the late-medieval morality drama Everyman.
		In turn, Pippin is tempted by and dabbles in greed, lust, gluttony, control, and many of life's other excesses and temptations; all of this leads him to the realization that, ultimately, investing heavily in any of them will not bring him happiness.

	Pippin: review on TheaterMania.com
		Pippin attempts to attain contentment through familial love, which is impossible since his dad's a tyrannical bore, his step-mom Fastrada (Luba Mason) is Lady Macbeth in a mini skirt, and his half-brother Lewis (Abe Sylvia) is a twit.
		Pippin is full of light pop music, magic, and soft-shoe dances, but it has one of the darkest and most complex themes in musical theater history.
		Pippin and Catherine often appear to be a limp couple at the end of the tale, but Kelly and Arden bring heat to their love; rather than the least of several evils, their union seems the best of all worldly options.

	Uninspired musical comedy falls short
		Pippin is usually played as a nerdy Jerry Lewis type; this version portrays Pippin as a young Hercules-esque rebel without a cause.
		The only parts of "Pippin" that the cast seems to be especially connected with involve sexnot that there is anything wrong with sex; however, it is hardly the essence of the show.
		Sound is key to any musical, and with a musical already lacking in overall zest, sound problems are a final blow.

	The Seattle Times: Arts & Entertainment: 5th Avenue revisits "Pippin," that quirky 1970s musical
		As conceived by composer-lyricist Stephen Schwartz and librettist Roger O. Hirson, the latter Pippin is definitively a creature of 1970s Broadway, where brash musical artists were lustily breaking the rules with rock beats, anachronistic fables and antiestablishment hullabaloo.
		As his soaring anthem "Corner of the Sky" presages, Pippin seeks greatness as a warrior, a sexual libertine, a political activist, a family-man farmer.
		This "Pippin" doesn't do much to refute the belief that the show's initial success was primarily the work of famed director Bob Fosse.

		The musical itself is extraordinary: a psychedelic, 1970's written production that shows the journey of Pippin, the young and restless son of King Charlemagne, as he tries to find purpose in his life.
		But more than the musical itself is the experience I had with the musical, and the connection I felt to it and the people involved in it.

		But Pippin has by far the more eclectic score and an eccentric and dreamy rite-of-passage that is very loosely based on Charlemagne's son, Pepin, who sought to overthrow his father as king in the eighth century.
		The musical, scripted by Roger Hirson, is a fetching quest journey in which Pippin (Matthew Robinson) samples "this and that" - war, sex and religion - in his precarious path towards enlightenment and self-acceptance.
		Musically the show is also thin while the sound quality on opening night was hardly up to scratch.

		Stephen Schwartz's ``Pippin'' is one of the great American musicals of the 1970s, but you wouldn't know it from the sorry spectacle that landed Tuesday night in the Forum at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts.
		The musical also solidified Bob Fosse's place among American choreographers, though its dances also were the first to demonstrate just how easily his artistry could descend into vulgarity once a strong ballet master left the scene.
