it's my personal belief that Gypsy shouldn't be done again unless Patti plays Rose...her performance can't be duplicated

im not for broadway going off,im for patti lupone being better than bernie (:

Unfortunately, Bernadette was in the wrong role at the wrong time. LuPone is performing the 'Mother Courage' performance of her career. Love her or hate her, the performance is breathtaking. It just HAS to be preserved.

So, you are FOR the closing DOWN of Broadway?? that in essense is what you are saying.

fresh talent is patti.shut your mouth,IGNORANCE IS BLISS (:

ugha323a (December 31, 1969 at 6:59 pm)

UNTRUTH. They NEED to get FRESH REAL talent. They CAN make it- I LIVE HERE. They pay WAY too much for NAMES. There is PLENTY of talen out there. The theatres were paid for LONG ago, and have been here for DECADES.

they catnt afford to keep it open, and its patti not pattie, and she was like a zillion times better than bernie, and thats what its closing is the economy, get your facts straight buddy.

ugha323a (December 31, 1969 at 6:59 pm)

midget- I agree, Bernadette as ROSE?? I DONT THINK SO, that was ridiculous, Pattie is good, but theatres DONT HAVE TO CLOSE, they will have to hire raw talent in America to keep it open, those theatres in NY are PAID for 10x over- Greed should not be a part of the Broadway scene. I would be happy if they got raw gifted/ and talented people. It is refreshing to hear a NO NAME that is great than a Bernadette that CANT SING.

ugha323a (December 31, 1969 at 6:59 pm)

Yes, she is, whats your point? I have my freedom to like and dislike singers- I didnt say that Patti was bad, I have seen BETTER is all.
