Patti is amazing and the show could do well in london. Katie Holmes??? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Not even the prospect of Katie Holmes taking some of her clothing off could get me to see her in Gypsy. The show i Lupone Gypsy and if they put her with Katie Holmes Patti would be ignored and frankly it would be worse than any of the crap casting Chicago does. Hey maybe Katie Holmes can play velma in chicago. Theres crap stunt casting people would want to see.

Im not anti Patti at all, I'm just stating facts. If you domt like them thats your problem. Its obvious from your previous posts regarding Patti that your madly, sadly over the top in love with her and simply wont listen to the truth for once! That's OK to like her like that but when someone posts a remark about her dont rip then apart for speaking the truth. As I said I was assistant house manager at Sunsets opening and for the first 14 months of its run. I met her many times but there was trouble in the production which is well known and because I mention this you disgard it as 'drivel'!
She was always pleasant to front of house management!

I was highly amused when the original poster mentioned his thought about Katie Holmes as "Louise" in "Gypsy." Just because he saw her in a promo for a one shot deal on a show .... he thinks that K.H. would be perfect for Louise... PUHleeze! from RC in Austin, Texas... P.S. Original poster...it will help to develop a "thick skin" if you post anything on a theatre forum. Forum replies and reactions are like a box of chocolates (shamelessly borrowed from "Forrest Gump")...you never know what you are going to get.

Rc I have a thick skin,, and I NEVER said I think she would be perfect. Was just a thought.

Laura Benanti was the best part of that show. Personally, I thought she was the most human character onstage.

Patti was fine, but Laura Benanti was a revelation in that role.
