The Word On The Street About The Audra "Gypsy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

                                           Have you heard the vocal tracks on the ads, girls?  She sings it like a coloratura soprano.   Which she is, so why the hell is she doing "Gypsy??????????"

                                           Even worse than this, I have heard that she sings "Rose's Turn" in a grey dress, with the blood of her daughter, Louise, running down the front.  Suddenly the audience is magically transported to Times Square, where, while Audra ends "Rose's Turn," Louise sings "Little Lamb!"

                                          You have got to be kidding me, darlings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   I know it is a rumor, so I hope this is not true, but the very idea!!!!!!!!!!!!  Oh, and this is definite--the Jerome Robbins choreography is going to be jettisoned, in favor of new.  If there is any break dancing in this "Gypsy," I will have plenty to say about it.

                                          Remember, this is "Gypsy," and for some Theater Queens the ultimate musical, which we do not like being tinkered with.   On January 19, when I arrive, I will have a legal pad and pen to take notes, and if I see one step awry, this production will get it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                            If I hear any more word on the street, I will be sure to let you know.  Till January 19, I am excited for "Gypsy."  Let us see if it is worthy of that excitement.

                                             "Hold your hats, and hallelujah!," dears!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
