An anime/hip-hop/martial arts take on 'Pippin'
![Of all the narcissistic navel-gazing shows to emerge from the 1970s, "Pippin" is among the most flagrantly self-indulgent. The entire story revolves around its eponymous hero's search for meaning in his life, an episodic quest that takes him from the battlefield to a drug-infused orgy to political activism to a new life on a sort of organic farm collective. Imagine Berkeley in the 9th century, and you'll get the gist.](http://www.latimes.com/media/thumbnails/story/2008-05/38867747-15160856.jpg "Of all the narcissistic navel-gazing shows to emerge from the 1970s, "Pippin\" is among the most flagrantly self-indulgent.

'Sweet Charity'
![Since first produced more than 40 years ago, "Sweet Charity" has undergone an unfortunate metamorphosis from the sweetly sentimental to the downright treacly. Granted, Cy Coleman's music and Dorothy Fields' lyrics combine in some memorable standards ("If They Could See Me Now," "Big Spender") and certainly one can imagine the sheer excitement generated when Bob Fosse's original Tony-winning choreography was first performed. But Neil Simon's book, although recently tweaked for the 2005 Broadway revival, has sprouted mold atop the syrup.](http://www.latimes.com/media/thumbnails/story/2008-07/41073722-17151309.jpg "Since first produced more than 40 years ago, "Sweet Charity\" has undergone an unfortunate metamorphosis from the sweetly sentimental to the downright treacly.

Shakespeare's 'Tempest' wizard enchants
![Set on a sandy island where scantily clad castaways compete against each other for power, Shakespeare's "The Tempest" could qualify as the proto-"Survivor." If that sounds like literary heresy, consider the fact that the Bard himself was seldom above baser pleasures, filling his final play with winking double-entendres involving birds, bees and bodily gratification.](http://www.latimes.com/media/thumbnails/story/2008-08/41614793-14111533.jpg "Set on a sandy island where scantily clad castaways compete against each other for power, Shakespeare's "The Tempest\" could qualify as the proto-\"Survivor.\" If that sounds like literary heresy, consider the fact that the Bard himself was seldom above baser pleasures, filling his final play with winking double-entendres involving birds, bees and bodily gratification.")
