Song of the Day: War is a Science

I just got done doing a production of Pippin back in April, with a sort of repeat concert excerpt in May.  It was a great experience and probably the most fun I have ever had doing a musical.  I played King Charles and after watching this video from a recorded production of Bob Fosse's Pippin I am extremely grateful that I didn't watch it in advance.  I clearly had a very different take on the character than what was originally designed and I'm glad my director allowed me to go there.  Pippin isn't a great musical by any means, but it's a fun one and a ball for character actors like me to sink their teeth into.  Enjoy.


Note of Interest: I'm playing with the idea of posting some clips of my work up here on this site, which would probably include this role.  We'll see how it goes.
