Considering I have a friend who was in it with Merman and is still alive, this is definitely just a wildly inaccurate claim."
Ooooook wow so it opened in '59 which is 66 years ago so your friend must be in his late 80's + or so damn! How old is he? I was thinking GYPSY opened early 50's but just checked my wildy inaccurate claim!

There are plenty of people who like this movie. Plenty who love it. You and the Broadway World Hate Club speak for yourselves only. Not everybody."
We like it a lot so did our friends. It will get a Best Picture nominee and many others when announced next week!

No need to book tickets so far in advance. I would wait until end of April and see if MHE is still running and decide then between that and GYPSY! Tony noms will be announced on May 1. When is the one day in May?
