Eli's Broadway Debut! Pippin was the experience of a lifetime. Not only was it his Broadway Debut, but it is a show unlike any other. Eli worked closely with the creative team and cast members to not only become a more well rounded actor, but also to learn from the circus. During the show Eli was only supposed to walk on a ball and trapeze on stage. However his dedication and hard work then led the creative team allowing Eli to juggle, juggle while balancing (video to the right of his first time), hand to hand (pictured below), and more. These additions were only added when he performed.
