<p>Here is why I recall seeing Pippin on Broadway (with Ben Vereen)…I grew up in South Jersey near Philadelphia. My older cousin came to visit us from CA. My mom drove my cousin and I to NYC to see Pippin as a treat (I don’t recall how old I was but I’ll guess around 11). Our car broke down on the NJ Turnpike near Exit 10 (I always think of this experience when I pass Exit 10 on the turnpike to this day!). This was a problem as we had the tix to the Broadway show and didn’t want to miss it but it also was a problem because my cousin was diabetic and could not go a certain length of time without food. Turns out, we had to take a taxi all the way to NYC to catch the show at that point. By the way, as far as Pippin goes, my D played The Leading Player (Ben Vereen’s role) at theater camp and it remains one of her favorite roles she has played. </p>
<p>When I said my kids saved all the Playbills, this includes from ANY theater, not just Broadway and yes, we have them all from the same theater camp as you do from 16 sessions. And yes, it is fun to even see D’s peers from those shows and where they are now. :)</p>
