PIPPIN

Director/Choreographer

 

Stylistically, “Pippin,” directed by Teri Hansen, harks back to the British Music Hall and American Vaudeville. The vaudeville format has remarkable staying power...“Pippin” unspools on a colorful, circus-like set with a central playing area topped by balconies, swathes of curtains, a movable staircase, sliding starburst panels and a trapdoor for a spectacular opening entrance. Hansen's abilities as a choreographer and director are apparent. (PIPPIN) should not be missed.

KINKY BOOTS

Based on an audience response that was filled with laughter and some tears the night I attended, Ms. Hansen and Company had succeeded in their telling of this very human and relatable story. From a staging perspective, Ms. Hansen kept the action moving fluidly, using the entire stage to craft evocative pictures. She is also not afraid to let the power of a theatrical moment be communicated with utter stillness for emotional resonance.

VARNER ACT II GALA REVUE

Celebrating 50 years of Musical Theatre

A show-stopping musical revue under the direction of Teri Hansen. I don’t know how Hansen could pick 16 songs from such a wealth of musical history, but they and their cast are to be commended for making it look easy. This show is a glorious respite from the frantic holiday season...
