Broadway Musical 'Pippin'

This story is important to me, to my growth, to who I am as a person because I wouldn’t be where I am today without. Everything changed for me after that one moment. After I saw Millie walk onto the Mira Costa Stage, that was it for me. That set the stage for the rest of my life. I’ve never been so passionate about something since I began singing. Musical theater is the one thing in my life that I can’t be more grateful in my life for finding me. I’ve dedicated all of my ambition to excelling in musical theater ever

Earlier this year I was able to take part in a local production of Pippin the Musical, by the South Coast Coral and Arts Society (SCCAS). SCCAS has been performing in Victor Harbor for over 60 years and have produced many memorable productions, such as the Wizard of Oz, The Sound of Music, Jesus Christ Superstar, and most recently My Fair Lady where I had the pleasure of playing Freddy Eynsford-Hill the main love interest. Winning many local awards and a few state awards SCCAS has proved that they are ready to step up into more complex and dynamic productions. Robert Bell, was very gracious to receive the Adelaide theatre guide award for his performance as Jesus in Jesus Christ Superstar, was determined to bring something fresh, and exciting

Pippin originally opened on Broadway, at the Imperial theatre, in October of 1972 and ran an amazing 1,944 performances. Stephen Schwartz’s story follows the life of the young Prince Pippin, son of King Charlemagne, as he tries to find something he can be passionate about with all his heart. A lot of young people of the 1970’s felt they could really relate to Pippin and his story, which is what makes this musical so important. The story has multiple themes that spoke to the people of the times. Themes of the work include hopelessness among young people, the pursuit to happiness, and fulfillment.

Pippin is the story of the French Prince Pippin, son of Charlemagne. The show begins with the Leading Player and the other players inviting the audience to watch their “Magic” as they help to tell the story. Next they introduce Pippin as a young man just out of a university. He tells us how he is

The character that I am going to develop more in this movie will be Rosie, and her musical career. I have made her into a major character, following the same musical life as she had in the first film, but she is now the main character. She is a beautiful, talented young woman who wishes to peruse her musical career around the globe. She is a newly-wed to Willie, and they are planning on having a child. Her musical career is the most important thing in her life, and she will do anything to expand her knowledge and experience.

This movie hits viewers in the heart with real children. He uses five children ranging from first to eighth grade that have hit hard times, and are simply trying to secure a better future for themselves.

Meanwhile, Ado Annie is torn between Will, a cowboy who very much loves her, and Ali Hakim, a peddler who 's a ladies man and does not like commitment.

“I was super nervous” says Davis. As her and her fellow choir members were waiting to go on stage.The Westover Junior High choir were performing for the first time. “ It’s nerve racking because you never know if you will or someone else will mess up and then the whole choir could go down.” adds Davis. Mrs. Daniels finished her intro it was time for the big moment. “We walk onstage just like we practiced the day before.” explains Davis. The bright lights hit their faces as

From an early age, I loved to perform. Being the youngest girl with three older brothers, I could never get enough attention; This meant singing, dancing and being extremely outgoing to get everyone’s eyes on me. I still hear stories about my younger self dancing in front of mirrors, babbling about my dream of being a “star”. It wasn’t until much later, however, that I found I could put my love of performing to use.

As the lights dimmed and the music began, I realized that my dreams were becoming a reality. I knew each of the songs, the names of every cast member, and the sequence of events. The story, which was based off the Italian opera La Boheme, was fresh in my mind. I could picture each of the characters, Roger, Mark, Mimi, and all the others, long before they took the stage.

There I stood a short, chubby eleven year old boy ready to take on the world of professional theatre. Looking back now I realize that I had no clue what I was getting myself into, but at the time I thought of myself as “Broadway Ready.” As I wandered through the densely packed hallways I would brush past all of the equity actors, they would smile at me or make comments such as

Born in January, less than a month after his mother finished performing in the Nutcracker, Joshua Colley was destined to own the stage. Before Joshua’s talents took New York City by storm, he lived in Trinity, Florida with his parents, Bradley and Robbie Colley, where they owned a Children’s Theatre Company. Joshua, along with his twin brother, Cameron, spent his early years playing backstage, memorizing all the lines to the current productions, and reenacting them for his friends and family. His parents used to tease their actors that they would replace them with their sons one day, but they couldn’t have began to know the even more spectacular journey their boy’s talents would take them.

The hit broadway musical tells the story of one girl's american dream to make it on broadway. The cast of around 30 people, completes multiple tap dance ensembles that vibrate the Clemens Center Stage. At Tuesday night's show, the crowd gave the performers a standing ovation. The shows stars' say this musical is relatable to anyone looking to make it in show business.

The first we see of Rose, played in this production by Angela Harrington, is the classic image of an overbearing stage mother as she tells young Louise, played by Hannah Buhman, to “sing out” alongside the real star of their Vaudeville show, young “Baby June,” played by Lauren Coleman. After their performance and back at their small home, Rose expresses her big dreams of fame and talent for her children, focusing primarily on June and pushing Louise to the side. However, the lack of money is a problem is achieving this dream and Rose’s father, Pop (Tiago Rodrigues), tries to convince Rose to settle down and refuses to let Rose borrow money. In the song, “Some People” Rose expresses her dreams about June and her discontent with “setting still.” This is the first we get to hear of Harrington’s voice and it is fantastic, loud, and commanding which not only sounds great but perfectly fits Rose’s character and personality. After stealing her father’s gold plaque to sell for money, she and her children travel to

However, throughout the course of the play several Youngers’ dreams come into direct conflict with one another or even the family dynamic itself. Especially when it involves the life insurance policy check that is coming which could change all their lives. Which also becomes a main focal point for all the strife in the family.
