WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Patti LuPone, Boyd Gaines, and Laura Benanti star in Gypsy, directed by multiple Tony Award winner and author of the musical Arthur Laurents.
The new production is based on the critically acclaimed New York City Center Encores! production which enjoyed a triumphant three-week run in July. LuPone will lead the cast in the role of "Rose," the quintessential stage mother, joined by Gaines as "Herbie" and Benanti as "Louise," the daughter who transforms into the title character of "Gypsy" in this musical fable suggested by the memoirs of Gypsy Rose Lee.
The book is by two-time Tony Award winning legend Arthur Laurents, with music by two-time Tony Award winner Jule Styne and lyrics by multiple Tony Award winner Stephen Sondheim. The 1959 blockbuster, originally directed and choreographed by Jerome Robbins, boasts a legendary score with such classic songs as "Everything's Coming Up Roses," "Rose's Turn" and "Some People."

RUN to the St. James .....
to see this revival of Gypsy before Patti Lupone, Boyd Gaines, and Laura Benanti go their separate ways. A superlative ensemble under inspired direction restores a dark edges of this landmark musical. This stunning production evokes an era, part vaudeville and part burlesque, in which American theatre struggled for legitimacy. It was a pleasure to share the company of Miss Gypsy Rose Lee for two fleeting hours.

There's a moment in the stupendous Arthur Laurents-Jule Styne-Stephen Sondheim musical Gypsy, when stage mother Rose tells daughter Louise that if you give the audiences a big finish, they'll forgive anything preceding it. Well, Patti LuPone -- currently triumphing as Rose in the splendid revival at the St. James -- turns that observation into an astonishing performing credo.
In a performance that'll have musical comedy fanatics buzzing for months, LuPone executes a show-biz finish to end all finishes. And -- get this! -- it's even been heightened by the 89-year-old Laurents, now the show's director, since it was presented as part of City Center Encores! Summer Stars series last year. I[...]
