We.were.blown.away.

First, the show is totally fun. Second the audience was over the moon. I mean appreciative - they stopped the show with Andrea Martin (who kicked ass!). I was a love-fest. Third, the bodies were sick (in the amazing way). It is done kind of a circus with lots of strength acts. The bodies on these men and women were amazing.
.
Honestly, at one point, Pippin takes off his shirt for an orgy scene and you find yourself saying "a six-pack, that's it?", because the other men and women have 8 packs AND big biceps AND great asses AND and and... Very much in the "Chicago" mold, but more strength.
.
Crazy. And they can sing. Really - you wanted to smack them. More than once members of the ensemble as well as Pippin himself run up a pole. Seriously, they run at a pole (and Pippin wears big black boots) and just continue running up it, sometimes hanging 3 floors up, somethings jumping to the balcony set above, sometimes pushing off at 90 degree angles while someone else sings a chorus.

AND, because it was the night before Opening Night, Eddie spotted Christine Ebersol as we came up the stairs! It was a blast.

Go if you can!
