We need another Gypsy revival — Page 2

I actually think mostly anytime Rose is not on stage in Act 1, the show could be cut. All I Need Is the Girl, If Mamma was married should be cut. Just go from the TT Grantziger scene; Rose rejecting his offer and causing a scene, June bemoaning her mother, and go right to the scene before Everything’s coming up Roses. All I Need is the girl is an old fashioned break for the audience song but it just stops the action as intended.

Ladies and gentleman, Flash is going to fix Gypsy! Flash knows what’s best for Gypsy more than the creators! Thank God! Flash, fix West Side Story next!

We can put this in rep with my bold vision of SWEENEY TODD that's only Anthony's scenes."

And I've always thought The Cow Song needed a reprise in Act 2.

AND during "Little Lamb" the audience gets some tasty cocktail chops!

Yep and 24/7 runs of it! It should never stop!

She was great in Violet.

No, she was adequate. She would need to do a lot of different genres before she can tackle Rose without looking like a bad Carol Burnett impersonation.

Sutton still reads as too young for Gypsy despite her being just about the right age for it. She was perfect in Violet however.
