Pippin

David Henry Hwang Theater
120 N. Judge John Aiso St.
L.A.,CA

This narcissistically navel-gazing musical about its eponymous hero's peripatetic search for meaning is so unalterably a part of the 1970s zeitgeist that it seems to defy revival, but director Tim Dang's anime version is purely fun, with enough eye candy to gloss over, if not negate, the material's inadequacies. Choreographers Blythe Matsui and Jason Tyler Chong supplant Bob Fosse's indelible original choreography with a dizzying blend of hip-hop, martial arts and high style.
