Pippin

We saw "Pippin" at the 5th Avenue Theater tonight. I bought the tickets through work, and we didn't know where our seats were until we got there. The usher sent us right down front to the FIRST row. 4' from the stage. "Reach out and touch someone" distance. Well within "flying sweat" range. It was actually unnerving to be so close, looking the actors in the eye as they sang and danced. Nonetheless, it was really really neat.

I've been spending so much time with the opera that I'd almost forgotten how much I love musical theater.
