Gypsy question..... Patti production specifically

I was watching a "you know" and I'm not sure if this a malfunction or purposely done. After Rose's Turn when Rose is crying and Louise is consoling her, are the fake old stage borders supposed to raise? If it is can someone tell me if my theory is right? Does is come up because it isn't a show anymore at the point but a real moment between a mother and daughter?

Yes, that set piece always goes up at that last scene. Not sure what the reason is, but your theory sounds good.

I would agree that you are correct, however I cant find the "you know",,, any help?

You can always email Patti and see what her interpretaion of that moment is?

I guess... maybe... but isn't Rose's Turn a "real moment" and... the "last scene" isn't really a "real moment" is it? Not in the new revival... It's clear from the last bit that she doesn't give up her dream... no? I mean... I've also thought when they leave together... that's the moment of reconcilliation... but in this revival they don't leave together... they don't have that real moment... for me anyway.

I think your theory is correct also, defyingravity. That's what I always thought too...

She would probably reply:

"Uh huh.

Love, Patti"

I've emailed her twice and both times she's responded very graciously and thoroughly.
