Higgledy-Piggledy Whale Statements Appendix 6, Part 3: Moby Dick: A Musical Reckoning (The Pip Part) (Oh No)

We’re back for round three of our review of Dave Malloy’s Moby Dick: A Musical Reckoning (2019). This time, your hosts (including eminent guests and friends of the podcast Danny (@BerserkerDanDan) and Clay (@ClayDanteT) reach the point of no return, after cleaning up the end of Part II. Part III: The Ballad of Pip. It’s where Malloy started, and it’s almost where we finished, because it’s a half-hour-long section about the ship’s boy, Pip. A large portion of that is a spoken word piece. Friends, shipmates: It’s dire. We were not prepared. And you can witness us attempt to make sense of it!
