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

Huh? GYPSY? What's that?
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

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.

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

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

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?"!!!!!!

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

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.

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.

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!"
