...is Patti's version transposed down a half step?

I thought she was the queen of the "if you can't sing it in the original key, don't sing it at all?" mentality...

that's a really big mic...

Yes. she is a half step down from the vocal score. She is using Tyne Daly's keys. And she has said these keys are the reason the songs are not demanding for her and she is able to keep her voice strong.

A half step is not a big deal. Angela Lansbury sang it drastically lower.

"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

She's a natural on talk shows, man. She's got the gift of gab. She'd be a fabulous host of her own show!

I'm glad she's just singing it - not trying to act it. It's impossible to jump into the middle of Rose, I imagine. I hope she gives us a concert after this run!

How do they have the playbill with her in the red dress? I saw it for the 4th time last week and they were still using the original playbills.

That's not the wrong note. I think it's written in the vocal score. And with the key she's in, she is belting a high C with that note. Which is the equivalent to Merman's ending notes in 'Everything's Coming Up Roses' and 'Rose's Turn.'

Angela Lansbury took the higher note too (in London I believe). Though she was in much lower keys.

And I told you all she would be doing SOME PEOPLE. I knew it.

Those lucky ducks! And if Patti wasn't the incredible Patti, I'd comment on how heinous white pantyhose look.

She looked like an angel, all dressed in white. Saint Patti!

I thought she was great but I was surprised the audience didn't give her a standing ovation! Oprah's audience would have!

They clearly made a mock-up playbill so that GYPSY is larger on it so when Barbara was holding it up the audience could see the words and color scheme clearly.
