I had never seen Pippin in its original version but I was lucky enough to have seen it the other day. It was superb and I wish it much luck on Broadway. The review, however,  in today's Boston Globe, was not superb. I can't believe the writer gave away the 'new' ending and also gave away all the wonderful surprises and feats that the production has to offer. No real word on the actors and how wonderfully they performed. I have told many peopke to go see the show (including a Facebook link) but will show no one the review. Very very disappointed.

Totally agree that the reviewer gives far too many spoilers in addition to basically making this a book report rather than a review. This is one of the major theatrical presentations in the Boston area this season and the Globe deserves bettter writing than this. Not up to snuff.

Another synoposis from a Globe critic. I thought just Aucoin did the synoposis, but I guess this guy does too. The Globe has been getting some great recognition for its arts criticism in other areas (some recent Pulitzers), but it's clearly not going to get any recognition for it's "analysis" or "criticism" of theatre. This is one of the major reasons Boston will always be a third rate town for theatre. The critics don't demand much, so they aren't encouraging the community to grow or take risks.
