Styne...GYPSY...Patti...Encores Bash...hmmmmm

Patti Lupone is appearing at the ENCORES bash on November 21-22.

One of the composers they are selecting to honor is Jules Styne, composer of GYPSY.

Now, I know that Arthur Laurents has made GYPSY off-limits to Patti for a while (various reports on why this is, don't know exactly why so don't ask me)...but...

It's one thing to ban her from a production.

But I don't think you can ban her from a SONG.

Like "Roses Turn", perhaps?

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

He's very good at that. Don't cross the man.

i would also like to know why laurents does not want lupone to perform in gypsy??? margo do you know??? thanks :)

Thanks, Matt, my boy!

It seems if Margo doesn't say it, it actually hasn't happened!



And this from someone who ADORES Margo!

I suppose because he wrote the book, but not the music or lyrics. Just a guess.

Huh. No Buckley or LuPone? What do they have against two of Broadway's cuddliest leading ladies?
