I know this was done 8 years ago but it was just as awesome then as it is now. Before anyone even heard of COVID I was involved in a local community theater production of Pippin. We finished all the rehearsals...sets were built..costumes were fitting and ready...and Tech Week was over....and then...and then...and gentlemen and thennnnnnnnn....COVID shut us down 24 hours before opening night.

If you’re looking for Rachael, she’s at 3:33 on the left

[@connorsternberg7032]

Omg I’m watching this for Rachel bay jones and I FOUND HER.

[@ElizaHamilton1780]

I’m intrigued.... So was this adjusted specifically for the parade? Or are we seeing a backup plan, if it’s not safe to have folks on the trapezes for some reason? This reminds me of “Wicked”-there’s a different version of “Defying Gravity” that can be performed if it’s decided that it’s not safe to put Elphaba up in the air.

You are seeing a variation of the choreography, circus rigs take a lot of time to set up, safety check and then set down so its easier for everyone to have modifed choreography. It also depends on their spacing, outdoors you would have no control over the weather and rigs can get dangerous when they're wet, the rigs in the theatre will have safety stops on them for is a cast member falls and outside that becomes much harder to control. It also depends on the performers comfort level if they don't feel safe they won't do it, many shows will have a out of theatre performance which will have been adapted to fit smaller venues, television, outside pretty much anywhere other than the theatre. Hope this helps.

Wish this showed more of Terrence Mann!

[@crystalfajman3732]

Did not realize the Sword man was Terrance Mann. Great job make-up department!

[@manuelorozco7760]

Performance was a little rushed but showed some energy! I saw Pippin on tour almost two years ago with John Rubinstein and Lucie Arnez and it was spectacular.
