Now that SPRING AWAKENING has closed, does anyone still miss GYPSY?

Post your feelings.

Oh Dolly. You're so wacky and spontaneous.

Huh? GYPSY? What's that?

While I consider Spring Awakening my 3rd favorite show of all time (next to only Spiderwoman and Sweeney) and will miss it dearly, Gypsy is the best show I ever have and quite possibly ever will see. It was a performance for the ages and am thrilled to have seen it and wish it could come back to entertain us again.

I can't believe how much I miss GYPSY. I've been playing all my recordings of the score since last Sunday.

I'd miss it if I didn't know it'll be revived once more sometime in the VERY near future.

I've said it before and I'll say it again...

ALL BLACK GYPSY!
It's happening, people.

Starring Tonya Pinkins, Hinton Battle, Anika Noni Rose, Kenita R. Miller, and Rogelio Douglas Jr.

Actually Piragua Guy that would be pretty damn amazing.

And Tessie Tura will be played by Whoopie, right?

[PiraguaGuy2]

Posted: 1/19/09 at 6:17pm

It wasn't a joke.

PiraguaGuy I couldn't agree more. But I kind of wanted LaChanze, but Tonya Pinkins is a great choice as well!

When is Carol Channing doing GYPSY?

[PiraguaGuy2]

Posted: 1/19/09 at 6:18pm

Hopefully never ever.

[Dollypop]

I'd love to see Carol play Mazeppa. Actually, she studied ballet, so Tessie Tura might be a good fit for her, too!

[Dollypop]

Posted: 1/19/09 at 6:24pm

Actually, the more I think of Carol playing Tessie Tura, the more I like it. Imagine how she'd deliver such lines as "Tough titty," "Hey you with the neck," and "Where have you been playing? The Vatican?"!!!!!!

I don't get it. Hahaha

Lillias White as Madame Rose. That I'd see.

[CurtisTaylorJr2]

Posted: 1/19/09 at 7:16pm

I agree about Lillias White, if there is ever an all-Black Gypsy done, she should be Mama Rose. Her Rose's Turn would be something else.

I actually love that idea, especially if Kenita Miller plays June and Anika Noni Rose is Louise. I would probably pass out in theatre.

I miss it incredibly, I want it back!

Yes, I miss Gypsy terribly. I'm glad I saw Spring once while it was open, but I'm not really saddened by its closing. Gypsy was the only closing I was genuinely sad about. I've been listening to the cast recording (and final show...), looking at pictures, and just remembering what an amazing final performance it was. No matter how many revivals come after it, nothing can top this cast and the performances they gave.

Phylicia Rashad as Rose
Anika Noni Rose as Louise
Kenita R Miller as June
Norm Lewis as Herbie
Lachanze as Tessie Tura
Wanda Sykes as Mazeppa

It will never happen, but its fun to dream lol

Wanda as Mazeppa, lmfao!!!
I'd love to see that, I can hear her in my head now singing "Once I was a schlepa! Now I'm Ms. Mazeppa!"
