AMAZING! Thank you so much
THANK YOU!!!
Yay! Thank you so much!
Thank you, thank you, thank you, a million times thank you!
I think this video expanded my love for Benanti. She seems fantastic...to me, at least. Patti is just SPECTACULAR (obviously).
I expected to be blown away by Patti, but Benanti looks amazing! They way she acts like an awkward young kid in one scene and then turns into this seductive stripper by the end is amazing!
Obviously it is hard to get a full appreciation for a show and its cast by a short video but I was impressed with Benanti. I loved the Gypsy revival but thought Tammy Blanchard was the weak link.
I wish I could see this although I am not a Patti fan. Unfortunately, I will be in town the weekend it is dark.
Thank you!
Fantastic!
Thank you! This is going to take about a day to load for me, but it's totally worth it...ha.
Thanks! I have heard that Patti is predictably awesome, but that the real revelation is Benanti. This from another poster who has seen the show.
Wonderful!!! Thank you!!
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! I can hardly wait!
WOW! I get chills just watching that little bit. Jeez, I wish I were in NYC...They look and sound great. What a cast.

Ahhh! There's not enough Patti!!!!!!!
But that clip was still amazing.
Thanks Craig!
For those of us not in NYC, this is the next best thing to being there.
Saw the show last night. I was totally blown away by everybodies performances! It was hard for me to keep seated during Patti's take on Rose's turn!
Boyd Gaines was great! As was Benanti!
It was nice to see a show with a full orchestra and a fanastic Overture!
Just got back from today's matinee. This was by far the best show I have seen all year. Incredible. Patti was (predictably) awesome and Laura completely blew me away...her best performance ever on stage! Boyd Gaines was also fantastic. I will probably go see this again. What a wonderful afternoon at the theater.
Who plays Tessie and the other two strippers??????
Thank you for posting......although when I saw the word "Highlights" I was expecting to see some of "Everything's Coming up Roses" and "Rose's Turn". Well, I guess there is some footage of it, but no audio sound. At any rate, I'm glad you posted it, because I doubt I'll get to see it unless it transfers to Broadway.

Marilyn Caskey is Elektra, Nancy Opel is Mazzeppa, but I forget who Tessie is. She was my favorite of the three though.
Patti looks more and more like actress Laurie Metcalf. Just an observation.
Tessie Tura is Alison Fraser.
Thank You!!!!!!
