Good morning, friends.

And others.

Sorry you couldn't disembark, DR Jane.

CONGRATULATIONS, DR George, on your lofty new perch in the HHW firmament!

I'll have to watch that Midler Gypsy again. I saw the original broadcast and I have the DVD, but it's been years.

Is there video of Tyne Daly's Mama Rose?

Midler doesn't totally do it for me, either, in that or as Dolly Levi. I've always been very glad I saw the latter's revival with Peters instead. I would love to have seen it with Buckley, too, though as much as I love her, I think her voice is what really betrays her age.

Lupone being a force of nature, indeed. I was watching/listening to a couple of Evita clips on YouTube yesterday. Get a load of her closing night performance of "Rainbow High". Holy moly on toasted rye.

The last nine or so minutes of Act One of Hello Dolly with Betty Buckley are online here, including all the dialogue.

Good morning, all.

I saw a MacHaydn Theater summer stock production of Gypsy with Monica Wemitt, who was in the cast of the Hello, Dolly! that BK recorded. She was in her early twenties and did nicely in the role.

Then I saw Lupone and Benanti in the Broadway run. Excellent evening of theater.

I don’t like any of the filmed productions I have seen. Imelda Staunton was horrible. Bette Midler didn’t understand the role. Natalie Wood was the best thing in the first film.

John G. · « **Reply #42 on:** April 10, 2025, 06:24:52 AM »

FWIW, I think Streisand would not have been right as Rose. She wants to be sympathetic, not a monster.

John G. · « **Reply #43 on:** April 10, 2025, 06:25:48 AM »

I would have liked to have seen Angela Lansbury and Linda Lavin.

John G. · « **Reply #44 on:** April 10, 2025, 06:26:20 AM »

I must get stirring.

Here’s Linda Lavin’s Rose’s Turn

Congrats to DR GEORGE on his millstone and the great review.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #47 on:** April 10, 2025, 06:36:04 AM »

I have only seen one production of GYPSY - and the director didn't understand the play and Rose thought she was a heroine.....and played the role like Shirley Temple.

I do like RR movie.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #48 on:** April 10, 2025, 06:36:59 AM »

I don't think DR JANE is there to see GYPSY.

Good morning.

There were A LOT of dishes to be washed after that funeral. And it was worth it.

Laura · « **Reply #51 on:** April 10, 2025, 06:43:40 AM »

The picture of DR Jane reminds me -- did you all see the SNL sketch about the very first play?

Laura · « **Reply #52 on:** April 10, 2025, 06:46:36 AM »

I liked the Bette Midler version of Gypsy. Probably because it is obtainable by folks like me.

Our local theater did it a few years ago.

If anyone, including the 100+ Guests, hasn't seen the Imelda Staunton GYPSY, here's the YouTube parody for free.

This Youtube celebrated one of my favorite Ben Brantley London Journal NYTimes reviews,
of Imelda Staunton's scorched-earth Rose in GYPSY:
