We had the opportunity to attend Broadway on Cincinnati’s latest show at the Aronoff on Opening Night this week…Pippin! I’ve been to Broadway shows in London, New York, and countless shows right here in Cincinnati, and Pippin was a show like no other. We all know that in order for performers to be cast for roles on Broadway they need to know how to act, sing and dance. Well, the performers in Pippin all had to go one step further and have some acrobatic skills as well. Between the poignant songs and fabulous dancing there were acrobatic antics of all sorts.
The performers in Pippin were all pretty awesome, and the storyline is quite interesting. I will say that this production is not for young children, as there is some language and risque scenes. Pippin would make for a perfect date night or ladies night out! It ends Sunday so get your tickets NOW!
