it is quite frankly baffling to me that pippin isn’t universally regarded to be one of the best musicals of all time... imagine you’re a musical. you’ve got it all: solely bangers on the soundtrack (simple joys! on the right track! extraordinary!). you’ve got identity crises (many). you’ve got sex. you’ve got patricide. you’ve got LAYERS OF PERFORMANCE — the actors are playing actors who are playing the characters and yes of course all of that is important. you’ve got a protagonist who is borderline insufferable for a lot of the show and is almost always being given terrible advice by the other characters. there’s a SING-ALONG portion in most productions! you, as a show, are using and fucking with the medium of theatre to such a degree that by the time the audience reach the finale everything is so tangled that they might not fully understand it and how unsettling it is until they look back and it hits them and they have to sit down for a while. and still nobody else in my life cares about you? ….😔 how come?

Théâtre des Vampires // Interview With The Vampire (2022)
The Players // Pippin (1972)
Oh eccentric, melodramatic, hedonistic fictional theatre troupes that are secretly death cults. I love you more than words could bare ♥️🌹🥹

Pippin remains the most terrifying musical I’ve ever seen and it gets spookier with age.
Sure, Sweeney Todd had cannibalism but does it depict how a thirst for fame causes people to destroy themselves for even a second of attention, and even when people snap out of it, there’s a new generation falling into their place?
Todd got nothing on Pippin.
