Ryan was frightened by Sami Gayle, but I freakin' love her! She is *supposed* to be like a distorted circus freak, and boy does she play it up!
The audience ate her up.

Bump! Great show last night - Miss Patti is just getting better and better.
The look that Emma gave Sami during "Let Me Entertain You" broke my heart. It was a look of jealousy and loathing and it really added to Louise's overall character.

99% of the posters on this board have no clue what this thread title means (including me).
I had no idea it was about GYPSY until someone directed me to it.
Perhaps you could mention GYPSY in the thread title.

Posted: 3/16/08 at 10:58pmi wanted to bump this thread to combat the notion that this production is being "thoroughly trashed", & to second foster's suggestion that the thread title be changed so that it isnt so cryptic.
#31re: Bad Gigolos! The Broadway Edition
Posted: 3/16/08 at 11:07pmI changed it days ago!

Posted: 3/16/08 at 11:12pmShould it maybe say, "Bad Gigolos: the Gypsy love thread - Broadway Edition"? Just a suggestion!

Or, "The PATTI LUPONE GYPSY Love Thread"
I have no clue what "Bad Gigolos" even means, and it just confuses most people, not to mention that having the word "bad" in there isn't exactly encouraging.

Posted: 3/16/08 at 11:24pm"Gigolo" is the monkey that eats the piece from the cake. But yeah, I guess it would be a little weird for someone who is unfamiliar with the show.

i'm sorry, ahmelie !
i know that you are a wonderful person & devoted fan!
but i was talking to a friend today who has seen GYPSY countless times, many different productions...& it was even too obscure for her.
i had to act out the scene for her to understand where the phrase originates.
& if we are promoting GYPSY (certainly my intention!), we need to make it as accessible as possible!

I wouldn't have put it if it weren't the name of our fan thread for the City Center production. I didn't just randomly choose the title.

I'll be there Saturday as well! Interesting to see what more they change....they already cut the Entr'acte (well, they cut most of it), so I wonder what else they'll do.
Love the new thread title, btw.
