The 2013 Tony Awards are right around the corner, and we can’t wait to find out which show takes home the prize for Best Musical Revival: Pippin, Cinderella, The Mystery of Edwin Drood or Annie. In the meantime, we went on a little YouTube binge to find out the most awesome, hilarious and downright weird interpretations of these Tony-nominated revivals from all over the world. Next up, Pippin is making magic on Broadway, adding a circus-inspired twist to the beloved story of a prince searching for his corner of the sky. We hunted the web to find five innovative takes on Stephen Schwartz’s 1972 musical.
PIPPIN MEETS MOTOWN When Pippin first hit Broadway in the seventies, everyone was humming Schwartz’s iconic song “Corner of the Sky”—even Michael Jackson! Check out the Jackson 5 singing the hit song on Soul Train…in some very excellent bellbottoms.
