A Mistress, Black Magic, Adultery and a King with an anal fistula. This music theatre production appears to have it all, but the sad truth
though is that despite some genuinely decent performances from the
ensemble the piece as a whole was lacking.
There are scenes where the dynamic relationship between the actors is
like watching the ABC’s Australian Stories, sadly this is not realised
throughout the entire piece.
A lavish feast for the eyes, ears and most definitely the funnybone, the deceptively simple yet thoroughly rich The Game of Love and Chance comes highly recommended.
Loosely telling the story of prince Pippin, the son of Charlemagne, and his somewhat picaresque journey through life, Stephen Schwartz’s 1972 Pippin is not your conventional musical.
