 Gypsy with Patti LuPone
Submitted on: 2009-05-10 |
|
| Patti LuPone is a great Mama Rose. She is one of the greats in Broadway history. When you think of the top Broadway stars, you think of Mary Martin, Ethel Merman, Carol Channing, and Patti LuPone. |

A Magnificent Performance.
Submitted on: 2009-04-11 |

| I have always loved this show. And I still consider Ethel Merman's performance of Madame Rose to be the greatest. But Patti LuPone has turned in a performance worthy of the Great Merm. I just listened to the CD of the 2008 Broadway revival. Patti LuPone is magnificent! Her singing is powerful. And her great acting ability comes through in every song that she performs. She well deserved the Tony for best performance in a musical role. |

 The War of the Roses

| Gypsy is without a doubt one of the two or three best musicals ever to hit Broadway. Great story and book, exciting music, and Sondheim's organic lyrics are witty, fun and move the story along. The central character of Rose has been interpreted by a host of divas including Merman, who starred in the original production, to Angela Lansbury, Tyne Daly, Bernadette Peters, Bette Midler (for TV), Rosalind Russell (for film) and now Patti LuPone. No doubt about it, LuPone has the voice and the guts to sing the role. I've listened to it for about a month now, but for my money, Angela Lansbury's performance beats every other one hands-down. By all means, you'll enjoy Patti for the voice and the LuPone recording is more complete. The strippers who coach Louise through "You Gotta Get a Gimmick" lack the variety and the vocal skills of those who sang in the Lansbury recording, and Zan Charisse more believably transforms from child-like, second-fiddle, ugly duckling Louise to the confident Gypsy Rose Lee. Still, the 2008 recording delivers. Boyd Gaines sings and acts well (not always the case with those who play Herbie), Laura Benanti is enjoyable and the more complete recording does justice to the score. I enjoy listening to it but always go back to the 1973 recording, sometimes back-to-back. If you have the LuPone and Lansbury versions, you need none of the others. |

2008 Gypsy - The Best
Submitted on: 2009-03-07 |
|
| Clearly the best of all the Gypsy cast albums. Patti LuPone combines energy, acting, power, perserverence, subtlety, and voice in a way none of her predecessors could match. And if June and Louise have ever been better, I have not seen or heard it - "If Mama Got Married" becomes a classic with this rendition. It finally means something. |
