Can someone point out where I have said I hated anything or anyone?

I am sorry you don't like the fact I think the Gypsy marketing is poor and the revival is unnecessary. That is not "hate."

The marketing is garbage, and if you think otherwise you need to go to school and major in marketing and visual arts. If you think 52% is a great first week for a show that is very well known and "at last" starring Broadway legend Patti, may you never run a theatre and make business decisions.

The revival is unnecessary even though I love the show & Lupone.

Well I don't live in NEw York City and I cannot wait to go up and see it. I am going to see it when i go in April. So there is ONE person who will buy tickets.


"Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around."

Flaunt. How is making a graphic of Patti LuPone hanging herself an expression of your dislike for the marketing of the show? You have made some very vile comments against LuPone. But I'm sure she could care less, lol.

Doll she is flying out with the ROSE sign. Poking fun at the new ending of the show.

If you see her hanging herself that says more about you.

I don't think a shows attendance in previews should be judged as to how long it will run. Plenty of shows that have become a success, were doing poor in previews. After the reviews come out, is when you can be more certain on how long a show will run, judging by the attendance records. For example, during previews Jersey Boys and Spring Awakening had very poor attendance. After good reviews came out, the shows attendance went up.

It is GYPSY... a known property... you can not compare it to a new show that is not known and needs to find its audience. You either got it.. or you ain't.

1. there is a recession
2. there was a revival a few years ago
3. Patti LuPone is not a star

If you want a GYPSY revival to work today you need an A-list star. Period. No argument.

Who cares if Patti isn't an "A-list" star? The woman got raves at City Center and someone wanted to put up the money to mount it on Broadway, so why is everyone bitching?

And show me an A-list star who can sing this score eight times a week.


I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.

I usually see evry musical each year, revivals included. And I even love Patti. Even with the disounts...I AM SO GYPSIED OUT, I just can not get interested. Tape it for PBS...show America. Perhaps it'll run a few months. I feel as though I just saw it...and since the the forbidden is floating around like crazy...why bother? Just, sorry...

Try buying seats for this Saturday and you'll be able to buy almost any seat in the house! Centre aisle seats available in Orchestra from row G and row C in the Front Mezz! Not good! ....who expected this to do any different!


A young actress with Noel coward after a dreadful opening night performance said to him 'Well, i knew my lines backwards this morning!'' Noels fast reply was ''Yes dear, and thats exactly how you said them tonight'!'

It is on TDF right now with a few dates

Not a good sign. It may not run as long as the Peters version.
