When I first saw the title of this I thought it was going to be something about GYPSY not closing because they found a replacement lol.
That was a great impersonation.

Very good indeed. If only Harvey actually did sing that well.
I amused my companions on a car trip from New York to D.C. by singing "Why Can't the English?" as Harvey and I felt hoarse for several hours thereafter so I wouldn't do this too often if I were you.

JP2, backlash? Crap the what?! That was kind of cramazing. Very good impression indeed. I even closed my eyes a couple of times throughout it and it was as if it was Harvey right singing. My roommate even peeked her head in and joked, "I didn't know Fierstein played Rose!". I was like - nope, so much better. BWW.

wow, that is an awesome impression!
When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain.

Oh, the backlash comments where because I figured people were sick of me making threads, but yay!
I've seen some awful Harvey impressions and thought I should attempt to do my own. Glad you guys like it!

Great imitation. Wrong number. Do "Rose's Turn" and that'll be the ultimate decision-maker.

Great job JP!!! I enjoyed it very much.
The only review of a show that matters is your own.

"There's a YouTube of Harvey on the Muppet Show doing "Everything's Coming Up Noses" instead of "Roses"--have you seen it? "
Yes! One of my favorite videos ever. I almost slipped Noses instead of Roses a couple times during the vid.
"haha for a second i thought you were just going to mock him lol"
I would never! I love Harvey.

JP, you are an impossibly good-looking guy. And even better, you're also crazy talented. That was fantastic, and now my brother actually believes that Harvey Fierstein is replacing Patti LuPone in Gypsy. Now I may have to do a response doing the song as Michael Ball's Edna Turnblad, and it'll turn into an endless chain of impersonations.
My favourite part was "blow a kiiiiiss.'
OH MY GOSH... are you singing a warped version of my "Everything Coming Up's Closing" song at the end, or is this is a crazy coincidence? (Mine ended, "Everything coming up's closing except Phantom 2", though.)

Schmerg_The_Impaler, I love that post!! Hahaha. Now you're just blowing my head up. I look forward to hearing your response!
Is your version online somewhere? Maybe I have seen it and it was subconsciously in the back of my head?

I really hope Harvey sees this - I have a feeling he'd love it.

Mine was on one of those many BWW The Musical threads that got deleted... The song claims Wicked is closing, because the "musical" is set on the day Wicked closes, but other than that, it's fairly accurate. It goes like this:
"Everything Coming Up's Closing"
By Schmerg_The_Impaler
Spoken: Closing? I'm just starting, and there's nothing to stop me getting tickets this time!
Sung:
I have a plan
To see all these shows, baby.
Illegal? Who knows, baby.
They say they'll all close, but baby...
I'll be there! Just you wait!
Gonna get there by plane or by freight.
Got my tickets online
Before everything coming up closes.
Clear the streets! Coming through!
I will wrangle these tickets from you.
Blackmail, steal, cut in line
Before everything coming up closes.
Robbed TKTS and got dragged out by ear,
Tried homicide and disguising myself as Joe Biden...
Went to jail, started fights
Just to see "Gypsy" and "In The Heights."
I would risk anything
To hear Clay Aiken sing
When desperate, you can't guess what I'll do
Before everything coming up closes... what? Not Hairspray, too!
I can do it-- all I need is the chance
I can do it-- Thirteen's closing? I KNEW IT!
Tickets sold, tickets pawned
Closing tickets to Legally Blonde
Got my seats, up these stairs
In the sex box? Who cares!
'Cause nothing's gonna stop me 'till I'm through!
Until everything closes like Wicked and Xanadu
Everything closes like Rent and like [tos]
Everything closes like SA and Spamalot
Everything coming up closes, except Phantom 2!
