Gypsy, Cellphones, and Stage doors

My friends and I saw Gypsy last night and it was absolutely wonderful! Patti Lupone and Laura Benanti had such wonderful chemistry! But anyway, during Rose's Turn, I was waiting for my favorite part, "Every thing's coming up Rose! Every thing's coming up Rose's this time for me!" and then a girl in my row pulled out her cellphone and started taking picture after picture of Patti Lupone! It was so distracting! Then, during the scene right after rose's turn a cellphone started going off, and it just wouldn't stop! I was so angry! Finally, at the stage door, we were waiting for Ms. Lupone to come out and I heard the people behind me talking about all the woman who played Rose. According to them, this was the first revival since the original Gypsy opened. They also were talking about how good Idina Menzel would be as Mamma Rose and how when Bernadette Peters gets older she should also play Mamma Rose. It was extremely funny to stand and listen to them!

That is so irritating...and the stage door story is really funny. Glad you had a good time!

Actually, NO ONE can handle thank.

Yeah, she came out after about 30 minutes, but no pictures.

Wouldn't put it past her. Nathan Lane told someone filming The Producers to "Get The F*CK out!"

I was at that same performance. Where were you sitting because I didn't hear a cell phone after "Rose's Turn." Though there was a strange high pitching whining noise that occurred for a while during the first act. I thought it may have been some kind of interference.

Some key points I wanted to make-

1) Idina Menzel would suck as Rose. By the time she reaches that age, her voice will likely be gone due to missuse anyway.
2) Isn't Bernadette older than Patti?
3) First revival, eh stupid Eydeenuh-fangurls? What about Angie and Tyne and Bernadette? First revival indeed.
4) Long live LuPone!

I thought Bernadette looked young as Rose. But she is older than Rose. How old should Rose be?
