Using the medieval legend of Charlemagne's son, Pippin, heir apparent to the Holy Roman Empire, the musical pageant called Pippin is a parabIe about a young man's search for meaning and truth.
With the show's masterful master of ceremonies, Ben Vereen, jumping the time barrier from the 1980s to the Middle Ages and back again, whiIe the music and costumes go through simiIar time-and-space-warps, young Pippin embarks on an odyssey to discovery whether there realIy is "something worthwhiIe I can do with my Iife."
WiIIiam Katt pIays-sings-and-dances the title roIe with a freshness and exuberance rareIy seen in today's entertainment on stage or screen. Broadway's virtuoso baritone, Ben Rayson, is as regaI as they come as Charlemagne. The sheer intensity of Vereen's many-faceted talents steaIs the show again and again, but he never upstages his co-stars. Martha Raye brings her boisterous energy to the roIe of Berthe, Pippin's 67 year old grandmother, while Chita Rivera ignites sparks every time she prances into a scene as Pippin's stepmother.
With alI of its distinctions, Pippin has never existed anywhere but Live, on stage, untiI this videotape production, supervised by Mr. Fosse and produced and directed for teIevision by David Sheehan. It's one video experience you'll aIways treasure! |
