I mean, Merman didn’t win. But I think Blaxx has a point.

I’ve been watching a lot of Gypsy versions lately(hence the joking post about a new revival) so I’m curious why Peters was considered an ill fit for this role. She played the Witch in Into the Woods and was plenty scary in that along with the stepmother in Cinderella as well as other roles. Vocally she’s not a huge belter but her voice fits the piece just fine to me. What gives? I think she was tremendous in the clips that I’ve seen of her.

She would need to do a lot of different genres before she can tackle Rose without looking like a bad Carol Burnett impersonation."Sutton still reads as too young for Gypsy despite her being just about the right age for it. She was perfect in Violet however.

She was great in Violet.

We need a revival every single season!

Is it time for a new Gypsy revival already? I think so! Let’s get Carolee Carmello as Rose!

Mrs. Lovett is in some ways the most evil one as her not disclosing that Lucy is actually alive may have resulted in him taking the path that he did but.. what would he have done if he had known the truth? Lucy most likely would have been too damaged by then to be able to return fully to her old self. And that might have spurred Todd into action in order to avenge her anyway. But Todd’s actions aren’t justified either because he kills innocent people. The Beadle and the Judge are terrible peo...

She's insanely overdue for a second Tony win and absolutely is one of the greatest talents of all time.

No, I hate MAGA. Violence is never the solution. Period. Yes, he was a terrible person and I'm not in mourning for him but it doesn't justify him being killed.

What exactly does she need to apologize for? As awful as Kirk was, him being assassinated was a terrible moment. Chenoweth grew up in a divided political household in the Bible Belt so her reacting how she did is not a surprise to me particularly as she herself was a swing voter until right after Obama was elected. All of this is in her book.

Grande is the best part of the film while Erivo throws the role away.

I'm sad to hear all the negative reviews- hopefully the show will get better and Chenoweth can get a second Tony.

Knowing I was going to be sitting through a 21-minute sequence in DTL made it better this time around. And yes, I clocked it.As a Broadway fa...

Kad said: "Gypsy has never been a smash hit show. Of the 5 productions thus far, none of them have cracked 2 years. LuPone and Lansbury didn’t even last a year, Peters made it just over a year, Daly was a year and a half, and the original production was a couple months shy of 2."The Great Recession happened before Patti could make it to a year, we have to remember that.

What does it say? I'm pay-walled.

It seems like Riedel and Laurents ruined the 2003 revival of Gypsy, the former was particularly cruel.

I watched the Imelda Staunton version- I feel like she got misdirected because she overdoes it a lot. She's a great actress though.
