At the very end when asked how he feels, Pippin says, "Trapped, which isn't bad for the end of a musical comedy." The line was written "Trapped, but happy, which isn't..." but director/choreographer Bob Fosse changed it. It was fought out and today, the original version of the line appears in the play.
This is the first Broadway musical to be videotaped in live performance for television broadcast. The Mary Martin version of "Peter Pan" was broadcast live in 1955 and 1956, and videotaped in 1960, but those telecasts were done at the NBC television studios, not in a theatre before a live audience.
After Chicago (2002) became a big hit, Miramax bought several Bob Fosse-related musical properties, Pippin among them. The feature project is reported to be in development as of 2013.
In the original stage version, Catherine has a solo entitled "I Guess I'll Miss the Man" after Pippin leaves her. The song does not appear in this version, but is still in the play today.
