 Pippin is a wondeful show. My high school is putting it one as we speak and I'm either laughing, or awestruck each and every minute. The music pulls everything together. I like every song but my favorites have to be Corner of the Sky, With You, Morning Glow and Glory. I know it's a lot but I couldn't choose. I have to say the movie version is a little odd, but if you like that stuff it's cool. Anyway if you buy this CD I can promise no disappointment!

Pippin, as I see it, is one of the worst musicals ever to be performed. I myself have seen the Broadway version, listened endlessly to the score, and have in fact performed in this awful excuse for a musical. Perhaps the most annoying aspect of this supposedly "comedic" and "fantastic" musical, is the fact that it is neither comedic nor fantastic. Pippin is a mix of boring songs and a plot line that redefines monotonous. Nothing in this dry musical makes sence, and the more you see or hear it, the less appealing it is. Don't waste your money on this awful musical. Take a listen here and find out for yourself, but take my word, it's not the kind of musical that you will want to hear again and is not worth your money. The only worth while aspect of Pippin is the choreography of the original broadway show, I believe by Bob Fosse. The movie can be rented or purchase at larger video stores with wide varieties because Pippin is not commonly in demand. It makes you scratch your head and think "What happened to Broadway?"
I saw the original show on broadway and have always remembered the experience fondly. It is a shame the preview soundtrack has the same poor quality as the CD I purchased from Amazon. On the first track, my CD skips and bounces exactly as the preview track.
