That gave me chills. I have always loved her work but I'm speechless. I love you Angela. I saw you in the OBC of Sweeney Todd 3x's when I was 16. I wish I was 10 years older to have seen your other musical performances. At 44, NOTHING makes me wish I was older, but you. :) Updated On: 12/2/07 at 03:06 PM

All I can find is the Tony Award clip of "Everything's Coming Up Roses."

Search "Angela Lansbury Gypsy clips" Thanks for posting this Jv, getting to see that made me so happy.

and if that doesn't work, type in the word Rose. That's one of the tag words assigned to the clip.

What a treasure!

Angie's dancing in "Together" is a delight. I've never seen a Rose dance like that.

Her "Rose's Turn" - wow!

I don't care for the incredibly rushed final bars of Rose's Turn, but I love everything else!

After viewing this clip 10 times I am still getting chills.

When was she on Broadway?

I always thought that is how Rose should be played....

For me! For Me! For Me!!!.....kind of crazy.....Over the Top!!!

Angela starred in the first Broadway revival which played the Winter Garden Theatre in 1974 (after it originated in London). The show ran from September 1974 to January 4, 1975. It went on a US National Tour afterwards.

Mary Louise Wilson, who normally played Tessie Tura in this production, was Angela's understudy.

Rex Robbins was Herbie and Zan Charisse (niece of Cyd Charisse) was Louise.

And Angela won her third of four "Best Actress in a Musical" Tony Awards for this performance.

Mary Louise Wilson as Rose? I can't ever wrap my head around the brilliance.

What a treasure! How do we save YT clips to our own computers?

[COOOOLkid]

There are sites like http://keepvid.com/ where you can save it to your computer in flv format. You'd need a special player to view it.

My parents took me to see her do this role when I was 13. It's still one of my favorite memories and she is my favorite Rose. What an actress.

Can someone PLEASE message me "the site". I've tried for ages to crack the code, but I would love just a straight "This is the site. Enjoy!" Thanks!

[BrodyFosse123]

The 'site' is none-other than YouTube.com.

And better yet... here is the direct link to the clip in question: http://youtube.com/watch?v=xLvvBjOkeCQ

Enjoy!

Love Lansbury, I would've loved to see that show. And to save videos from that one site, you can always go to vixy.net. It allows you to save videos in MP4 format, which is ideal for those who have Ipods.

And that is why the woman is a icon, legend, whatever you want to call her, Ms Lansbury is one of the true greats.

Thanks for sharing.

Its incredible that London had to wait 14 years to get its first production of 'Gypsy'.
It was April 1973 when Angela Lansbury opened the show at the Piccadilly Theatre. Sadly its success wasnt repeated in the West End and it barely lasted 7 months. Angela Lansbury only played 3 months of the run and the show closed with Broadway great, Dolores Gray as Mama Rose. It has never returned to the London stage tho it has had many major productions around the UK and touring.
