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.

Posted: 3/19/07 at 12:19amI 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.

"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?
#18re: LuPone to Play MAMA ROSE AT CITY CENTER
Posted: 3/19/07 at 12:37amLaurents probably forgot his grudge when he saw the raves LuPone got at Ravinia.
#19re: LuPone to Play MAMA ROSE AT CITY CENTER
Posted: 3/19/07 at 12:39amWould commercial producers really consider mounting this on Broadway?
