    Correct.

    From the FAQ:

    Can I use a mobile phone, tablet, or Fire TV to join a Watch Party?
    Watch Parties are available on desktop browsers, except Apple’s Safari. Other devices such as Fire TV, smart TVs, game consoles, connected media players, mobile phones, and tablets are currently not supported.

    Who can access Prime Video Watch Party?
    Amazon Prime and/or Prime Video members based in select regions are eligible to access a Watch Party via desktop. Anyone can join a Watch Party as long as they have a valid invite link and an active Prime membership to access eligible titles included with their Prime Membership.

    Can I host a Watch Party while I am traveling internationally?
    If you are traveling internationally and wish to host a Watch Party, eligible content may be limited. Additional information related to content availability while traveling can be found here. In order to host a Watch Party while traveling internationally, you must first log into your Prime membership via your home country page. For example, if you are from the United States, you must log into your Prime membership via Amazon.com.

    Can I participate in an international Watch Party?
    Unfortunately joining an international Watch Party is not currently available. Your eligibility to participate in a Watch Party requires your subscription to be entitled in the same country as the host’s home subscription. For example, if the host’s home subscription is in the United States through Amazon.com, you must be logged into your United States subscription through Amazon.com to participate.

    @Cameron H., let's you and I get together this week and I'll show you how to Kast. It's easy now that I know how.

    I think the Amazon Watch Party might be limited to Prime users if that makes a difference.

    Another thing I thought was really weird in the play was its references to casualties in WWI and WWII. I thought it might be building up to some sort of metaphor for Vietnam or the 60s but it never evolved into anything other than a  vague muddle of cultural stuff. Perhaps if I saw this play in 1972, I would say “Yes! This captures the counterculture perfectly! jazz hands!”

    Watching it now as a time capsule from 1980, my reaction is “huh?????” Jazz hands!

    This was actually way more watchable than I thought it would be, perhaps because I viewed it through a WTF lens and it felt like a wacky/tacky Vegas stage musical (PARTICULARLY the song from the grandma with the HUGE mic). I did like the meta part because it at least somewhat explained why Pippin was such a douche. Ben Vereen was great. William Katt (unfortunately) seemed like a blond surfer dude. But I made it through the whole thing (with a few surreptitious fast-forwards), which was a pleasant surprise.

    This is the first Bob Fosse production that I’ve ever seen (other than the rapidly edited Chicago). The choreography was...underwhelming and the stage show looked like it was shot in someone’s walk-in closet and the audience looked like mannequins.

    truly random thought: Love to see a David Lynch interpretation of this.

    I went to a Second City Toronto show in 1987.  One of the skits was David Cronenberg's version of Anne of Green Gables.  Anne was a space alien who could kill people with a zap from her pointed finger.  Mike Myers played Anne.

    Wasn’t this, and Godspell, a hit? I feel like I’ve seen a movie contemporary to when Pippin was on Broadway that referenced it. I want to say Annie Hall, but I don’t think that’s right...

    Yes, they were both big hits.  I haven't seen Godspell but it's on my possibles list.  Fosse won multiple Tonys for Pippin and Ben Vereen won Best Leading Actor.  (Fun fact from Wikipedia: A later Broadway revival had a female playing Ben Vereen's role and she won a Tony for Best Leading Actress.  It's the only time there has been Best Leading Actor and Best Leading Actress wins for the same role.)
