 | | "Pippin," with music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz, was originally directed on Broadway in the early 1970s by Bob Fosse, and is usually remembered for Fosse's signature hip thrusting jazz choreography, and for boosting the career of its star, Ben Vereen. |
 | | Maher, as Pippin's father, Charlemagne, with his regal manner and rich voice, is convincing in his role, despite initially appearing too young for the part. |
 | | Thinking that life is more than "ducks that die, leaky roofs and flaming quince pudding," Pippin fails to find contentment in any of these endeavors, until, in a powerful and haunting finale, unusual in its simplicity, Pippin discovers that fulfillment comes, not from magic shows and miracles, but from the simple things in life. |
