It'll be interesting to see what effect these raves have on the box office.

I think the reviews will make the box office soar. Then once the show wins possibly 3 Tonys, they will soar through 09.

Posted: 3/27/08 at 11:41pmHopefully the reviews don't make Laurents' heart soar too high.

Who else here is praying that there will be a video on BWW or Broadway.com of the opening night curtain call?
I'm guessing Patti's bow blew the roof off the St. James.
Speaking of the bows, who bows right before Patti? Boyd or Laura?

Posted: 3/27/08 at 11:41pmJust got back from opening night. I was blown away. Incredible. A VERY long standing O after Patti's Rose's Turn.

Tonight's show was absolutely AMAZING!
There are no words to describe Rose's Turn...the best I've seen. (And I've seen a few!)
Miss Patti is pretty much the most important woman in New York at the moment. Her entrance applause lasted a really long time. Laura got an extenseive entrance applause as well.
I saw Donna Murphy (who looked AMAZING), Ms. Angela Lansbury, and Matthew Broderick.
re: GYPSY Reviews#160
Posted: 3/27/08 at 11:52pmVERY glad to hear Lansbury was there. Doubt Bernadette will visit this production.
re: GYPSY Reviews#161
Posted: 3/27/08 at 11:58pmMs. Lansbury was so adorable. She was one of the first to stand at curtain call - she just seemed really, really happy.

Posted: 3/28/08 at 12:02amWish I had seen it, but I'm sure it'll be around for a while. I def. see all the Revials sweeping the Tonys this year.

"Doubt Bernadette will visit this production."
Why do you think that?

Lansbury has always struck me as the epitome of class.
""Doubt Bernadette will visit this production."
Why do you think that?"
Well, considering the unkind things Laurents has said publicly about her production, I doubt she'd visit this production either.

Just came back from opening night! There are no words to describe the night except Sondheim's quip "lets give a round of applause for Jule"!
As a little aside, Patti took Bernadette's performance in Gypsy personally (as she felt she was entitled to the role) so why would Bernadette go into the snake pit (for lack of a better term)?
re: GYPSY Reviews#169
Posted: 3/28/08 at 12:20amI know it's still early in the run, but does anyone have any predictions of how long this will run? It would be appreciated.
It was awesome. - theaterkid1015
re: GYPSY Reviews#170
Posted: 3/28/08 at 12:20amIMO, it's not as much about Laurents who she is still very close with, recently attending Fame Becomes Me with him, when she was the surpise guest but more about the supposed animosity with Patti.

If it can garner some major tony's and with these reviews, this revival will last at least a year if not longer.

John Simon is a Rave, calling it "the definitive 'Gypsy'":
No matter how many times you've seen ``Gypsy,' you arguably haven't experienced it as fully as you may now on Broadway at the St. James Theatre. I think I have caught them all, starting with the legendary Ethel Merman in the premiere, but it is this one that has definitive written all over it.
In Patti LuPone's Mama Rose, Boyd Gaines's Herbie and Laura Benanti's Louise, the musical has that radiant nucleus around which everything else coalesces into a parade of delights. This is the ``nec plus ultra' of ``Gypsy' productions, than which I can imagine none greater.

re: GYPSY Reviews#173
Posted: 3/28/08 at 12:26amAt this point, I think it's safe tos ay that the show will run on its original schedule (I think through October, right?). If Gypsy scoops up one or more Tonys, who knows how long it will go.
re: GYPSY Reviews#174
Posted: 3/28/08 at 12:28amThanks zoo. I'm going to NY in June, and I'm pretty irrationally afraid about it closing before then. Haha.
It was awesome. - theaterkid1015
