BWW Reviews: Bob Fosse Magic Comes to Austin with PIPPIN
by Jeff Davis - Aug 1, 2013


Tackling a show like Pippin takes some major cojones.

The current Broadway revival of Pippin just won four Tony Awards for Best Featured Actress, Best Actress, Best Direction of a Musical, and Best Revival of a Musical. Pippin is certainly not a safe choice for a troupe of young performers like the High School and college age artists of SummerStock Austin.
