| Professional Review: |
| The Gypsy soundtrack includes bonus tracks.Curtain Up! The smash Broadway musical comes to life in this all new cast recording! It's the new 2008 revival of Gypsy, starring Tony and Olivier award-winner Patti Lupone as the indomitable Momma Rose. This classic American musical by Arthur Laurents, Jule Styne and Stephen Sondheim about a fractured family stars the larger than life, true Broadway diva Lupone heading the cast as the "stage mother of all stage mothers," determined to make a star out of at least one of her children. Four time Tony-winner Boyd Gaines is the beleaguered Herbie,a gentlemanly candy salesman and reluctant theatrical agent who loves Rose, and Tony-winner Laura Benanti is the wallflower-turned-world-famous-stripper Gypsy Rose Lee, one of Rose's two daughters. |

 Written on September 29, 2008 Summary: Gypsy 2008 Revival This is amazing. So worth it. Patti is AMAZING and I LOVED the bonus songs!! xoxo, lyss Written on September 29, 2008 Summary: Well worth it for the amazing performances and bonus materials Patti LuPone is giving the performance of a lifetime and it is well preserved here. Written on September 28, 2008 Summary: Very enjoyable The best version since the original Ethel Merman. Too bad it is not a DVD so we could compare it to the movie version which was very enjoyable. Written on September 26, 2008 Summary: Very Good I have all the various cast albums for GYPSY and had to have this one because I am a fan of the show and Patti Lupone. The album is very good but still doesn't pack the wallop of the original with Ethel Merman or the cast album with Angela Lansbury. Nonetheless, GYPSY is a great show and anyone who loves the Broadway musical genre should have it in their collection. Written on September 26, 2008 Summary: This production COULDN'T fail! By anyone's whose opinion I trust, gave the Patti LaPone version of "Gypsy" the great reviews it deserved. I had the pleasure, thrill, and excitement of seeing Ethel Merman perform the role of 'Rose' as it was written for her. Many others have played the role since and by all standards of Broadway theologions, "Gypsy" is considered the BEST and most perfect Broadway musical ever written. Jule Styne, who composed the score, had more hits than sands in an hourglass, after Merman chose Jule over Sondheim. At the time, Stephen Sondheim was in his mid-twenties and had the lyrics to "West Side Story" already on his young resume...later to become America's most prolific Broadway composer and lyricist of all time. Arthur Laurents who wrote the libretto had a resume a mile long when he wrote the book. There was no way under the sun that the show couldn't succeed. Two revivals sprang forth...both winning Emmy's for their stars...Angela Lansbury and Tyne Daly...then to TV with Bette Midler and only a couple of season's back, the reigning first lady of the American musical, Bernadette Peters, elevated her stardom by playing Rose. Hundreds and hundreds of companies have included "Gypsy" in their stock season. Even I played Herbie to a young wannabe star, Donna Tomko. A semi-feud was blown out of proportion concerning Patti LaPone and Arthur Laurents, but ALL was forgiven for this latest and historic rendition with a nonagenarian, Laurents, and the strongest female voice since Merman, (LaPone} buried the hatchet ars gratis artis and presented the finest version of "Gypsy" since Merman, nearly 50 years ago. The Sid Ramin orchestration, especially the overture, became the greatest Broadway Overture of all time. On the new CD, five songs cut from the original show...with explanstions why they were cut are on the CD with new orchestrations by Sondheim's favorite arranger, Jonathan Tunick. IF you're an avid OC collector...THIS is a must...even if you own the Lansbury, Daly, or Peters version, believe me, your collection is NOT complete without the Patti LaPone version. The CD also presents longer versions, incidental music, and included spoken dialogue never recorded before. I'm not sure if I'm supposed to rate this with ten stars or four, but it exceeds any number of stars I might award it. You WON'T be sorry. Lapone has that brash stage mother with moments of quiet solitude...a wide range gamut of emotions, but she conquers EVERY ONE...as the Merm did. |
