Which Finale to Pippin is better? The original or the revival? Curious to hear people’s opinion. I prefer the revival cause it seems more eerie.

So I guess I talk about more than Hamilton now lol.

Okay so if you guys didn’t know I’m currently in a production of Pippin, cast as Fastrada. I love pippin, the revival soundtrack is AMAZING!

And have you heard of the queen patina Miller. Lovvveee her. I originally tried for leading player Bc I just look up to her so much. She’s an amazing vocalist and performer. Guys check it out.

Extroverted Feeling (Fe) "God's wisdom teaches me when I help others, I'm really helping myself!" Fastrada is successful in manipulation particularly because she is able to present herself in certain ways and charm others. She is bubbly and flirtatious, used as a front as she slides in ideas and thoughts that help to bring Louis to the throne. Her solo song, "Spread A Little Sunshine," is focused around "helping" others - or, rather, acting kind to others in order to exploit them. Under the guise of aiding Pippin and Charlemagne, she is really placing them up against one another. She seems to enjoy attention as well, whether from the men in her life or from the audience.

Introverted Intuition (Ni) "I'd rather be drawn and quartered than think I was in any way responsible for what happened next." Fastrada is looking ahead - she has her goals, so she seeks them in whatever way she can. Her main goal is to make Louis the king, and she knows that whether Pippin kills Charlemagne or the other way around, there is a path. Since she is constantly looking ahead to this one goal, she is able to find the steps to reach it. Her ability to understand others, bolstered by her Fe, is what allows her to manipulate them so effectively. She knows more or less what will happen next as she hides her true goals under the surface, letting her plan come more or less to fruition.

Extroverted Sensing (Se) "Despite this rejection, I took upon my tiny shoulders the task of affecting a rapprochement between two men for whom I felt deeply." Fastrada is far from unaware of her good looks and appeal, and she uses it alongside her Fe to get what she wants. It is mentioned that a great deal of Fastrada's influence over Charlemagne is their sexual relationship. She tends to buy many expensive things, to the point that she is spending more money than she actually has. She lusts after power, though in an indirect manner - her desire to put her son on the throne will allow her even greater influence than she already has. She tends to see most of the people in her life as disposable, as she sticks with Charlemagne primarily for his power and seems to have no real affection for Pippin.

Introverted Thinking (Ti) "I'm just an ordinary housewife and mother, just like all you housewives and mothers out there." One aspect of Fastrada's plans is that she always requires others to get things done, rarely taking direct control herself. She seems much more content with keeping her plans close and pulling the strings. She seems comfortable with manipulating other people's emotions rather than acting as a logical advisor. Her plans for putting Louis on the throne rely mostly on the growing emotional tensions between Pippin and Charlemagne. She doesn't care much who is around her as long as she isn't alone.
