Posted: 12/8/08 at 12:24amI'm going to see it on Tuesday, December 9th. Does anyone know if all the original cast is still there? All the leads? Patti, Boyd, Laura, all 3 stripper girls, Tony Yazbeck, the girl who plays June? I'm so excited to see it!!!

I think it's pretty safe to say that no one will be leaving the show at all until the Shuberts chase Laura out with a bat in March.

Posted: 12/8/08 at 2:29amWhat is up with Laura?

Posted: 12/8/08 at 2:33amWhy chase her out with a bat? Is she upset they're not recasting Rose?

Posted: 12/8/08 at 11:15amYou do realize, though, that on Tuesday nights the role of Rose is played by Kathy Lee Gifford. They say she's quite good.

Posted: 12/8/08 at 11:24amAlso, this is not a Shubert House. The St. James is owned by the Jujamcyn Organization. And what are you talking about?

I thought that was funny! Especially because you know Kathy secretly believes that her own gifts put her on par with LuPone. If only she didnt have to hang out with Hoda all morning...

Posted: 12/8/08 at 1:30pmI happen to feel that Kathy Lee Gifford should be named "Kathy Lee Gifted" because of her undefinable talent!

Add me to the list of those who would like you to elaborate on what this means.

I am bumping this because the statement made by TimeSquare3 needs to be explained.

I can't believe this hasn't been mentioned yet... shame on all you... probably the best, most important cast change in this production... two words:
EMMA ZAKS.

Posted: 12/8/08 at 8:24pmI was just making a joke. Not really that funny though.

Posted: 12/8/08 at 9:43pmOkay. Thanks for the clear up. I was really confused.
#18re: Current 'Gypsy' cast?

Forgive me for being dense, but I don't understand what the joke meant.
That she really wants to keep doing the show beyond March? That she's loitering around the St. James Theatre and hugs set pieces until forcibly removed away at the end of the night?
Your comment was just intriguing and something inspired it. I'm just curious what the basis or meaning was, joke or not.
#19re: Current 'Gypsy' cast?
Posted: 12/8/08 at 10:02pmI had no basis. Had this been about Hairspray with Harvey in for Laura it would have made sense.
#20re: Current 'Gypsy' cast?
Posted: 12/8/08 at 10:43pmYes, the brilliant Emma Zaks is in fact a part of the cast. That's why MTF3 hasn't been around much recently.
#21re: Current 'Gypsy' cast?
Posted: 12/8/08 at 11:04pmDon't you remember Adam?? Emma is going to SAVE Gypsy in a way Patti could not imagine.
