Just to make sure, they mean this summer right?

I was just going to ask the same thing, Wanna Be.

I'm going to be in the city July 9th through the 14th and am most certainly not missing this. My only commitment so far is "110 in the Shade" on the 12th (the night this will open,) but I am willing to move anything and everything to schedule "Gypsy" in.

Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.
Tony Kushner: You can sing it at my funeral.

I just went to their website, and it says nothing about it. Those tickets are going to sell like wildfire.

This could lead to a Broadway production! So much for being four minutes late.

"Tony and Olivier Award winner Patti LuPone, who triumphed in last summer's Ravinia Festival production of Gypsy, will get the chance to perform her Rose for New York audiences this summer."

"Laurents, who wrote the book for what is considered one of the finest American musicals, will direct the production"

So does that mean Laurents is no longer holding his grudge against LuPone...since he is directing her? I'd love to be in that rehearsal room.

It's no McArdle, but HOT DAMN this is exciting!!!

I wonder who will round out the cast? Does the Encores Summer Series do the same amount of performances as the Great American? Just the four or five, or whatever?

Laurents probably forgot his grudge when he saw the raves LuPone got at Ravinia.

Would commercial producers really consider mounting this on Broadway?
