Medieval History
Another "first" for Medievally Speaking this year, our first review of a live performance, here Kevin Harty's review of Pippin, directed for the American Repertory Theater by Diane Paulus:
Pippin comes to Broadway by way of Cambridge, Mass., where the production was first developed for the American Repertory Theater and ran from December 5, 2012, to January 20, 2013. The Broadway production opened on April 25 at The Music Box on West 45th Street. Both the Cambridge and New York productions were directed by Diane Paulus, known for her previous Broadway revivals of Hair (originally for the Public Theatre in Central Park) and The Gershwins? Porgy and Bess.
The original Broadway production of Pippin, directed by Bob Fosse (who also choreographed and contributed to the libretto) with music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz and book by Roger O. Hirson, ran for almost 2000 performances from 1972 to 1977 and spawned a several-year long road tour. READ THE FULL REVIEW HERE
