Members TownsendPLocke Posted February 19, 2009 Members Share Posted February 19, 2009 I had a real treat last night!Saw Pippin at the Mark Taper-what a fantastic show. http://www.centertheatregroup.org/ti...l.aspx?id=7702 This production is done in collabreration with Deaf Theatre West.They handled it so great! Two Pippins-one voiced and one not.Some of the actors are not voiced either and have"seconds"in the cast who speak for them. The MC is played by Ty Taylor who does a fantastic job as do the two fellas who play Pippin Tyrone Giordano and Michael Arde-in fact there was not a weak link in the cast. Jeff Callhoun has done an outstanding job directing. I saw this show 20 or so years ago as a huge stage production(With Ben Vereen and Doug Henning)-this production was pretty trim compared to that=but it works so well. It honestly was one of the best nights at the theatre I have ever had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait to see both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mineallmine Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 I went and saw History Boys at the Cygnet and Don Quixote at the San Diego Opera. The Opera was absolutely fabulous. I knew the set designer he is a professor of mine. I got to meet the Costume Designer and both were fabulous. I also know the costume and set designer of History Boys and it was a wonderful show. I will have to get up to see Pippen before it closes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
