Talk about “light the lights.” I will be seeing Gypsy the day of the Rockefeller Christmas tree lighting ceremony.

It’s crazy that I paid $139 for left rear orchestra for a later preview. I used the code GIMMICK at the box office.

I will sadly never see this ( Australia, here ) but I can’t shake the feeling that this will flop. Not sure why, but I hope not. Looking forward to hearing the reports back.
Well I didn't want to get into it, but he's a Satanist.
Every full moon he sacrifices 4 puppies to the Dark Lord and smears their blood on his paino.
This should help you understand the score for Wicked a little bit more.

If your clothes are so shabby that tailors are calling you Cabbie, just take them off.

Oof I was so exhausted when I wrote that I forgot Gypsy is literally about a stripper.

Gypsy Rose Lee was a burlesque stripper so she never once stripped fully nude. Her “gimmick” was her witty dialogue as she removed pieces of her costume. She primarily used a large hat in her costuming so she used it wisely during her act. The “You Gotta Have a Gimmick” sequence is basically explaining the whole idea of having a “gimmick.” Gypsy was already retired by the time full nude stripping started in that industry.

Feels like Christmas today!!!
"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022)
"Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009)
"Sondheim's own favorite star performances? [Bernadette] Peters in ''Sunday in the Park,'' Lansbury in ''Sweeney Todd'' and ''obviously, Ethel was thrilling in 'Gypsy.'' Nytimes, 2000

Well, obviously, how else would Mama Rose get thrown beads at Mardi Gras?

Audra got a taste in Frankie and Johnny and figured some stuff out, I guess

Wasn’t there full frontal for at least a couple previews of South Pacific? I know there were some backsides ultimately. Am I imagining that?

Rose and the girls arrive home and to their dismay, Pop is stark naked while cooking eggs. “Din’t expect to see ya home so early!”
Rose proceeds to sing all of SOME PEOPLE to him while he eats his eggs in the nude.
On “get my kids OUT”, she whacks him with the frying pan where it hurts.

But seriously, if there is nudity, I would have to imagine it would be something in passing like in the strippers' dressing room to lend it more authenticity.

I can’t believe after all these decades someone finally cracked the code on that.
(The song is called “You Gotta Get a Gimmick,” by the way.)

Gypsy Rose Lee had success in NY at Minsky's Burlesque, originally known as the Republic Theatre, and currently running as the New Victory Theatre.

I would imagine it would be.Wolfe is a formidable director, but he doesn't do "high" concept or shtick. Not saying that these concepts cant be done well, it's just not his thing."
Agree. He's very straight forward / basic with direction. The SHOW has to be creative and in term makes him look better. This will be interesting to see if he can add charm to this standard. Since he has been doing movies maybe his creativity has been enhanced for stage?
