Album Description
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.

cd is great especially if you have been lucky enough to see the show on broadway.Brings it all back and yu feel as if you are back in the theatre, also there are quite a few bonus tracks which were not in the show would definately ecommend if you like stage shows.


5 out of 5 stars Patti Lupone's Gypsy   October 1, 2008

I went to see this play on Broadway and was astounded by the brillant performaces of all three cast memebers, especially Patti Lupone. I just had to buy the CD and I'm glad I did. This is a top notch edition of this classic musical.


2 out of 5 stars Gypsy? Says who?   September 30, 2008

Bought this disc based on local reviewer's rave review. HA! It is flat and every song pretends it's a mockery! Who needs this? Patti Lupone is a fine singer but she is NOT Rose! She has no oomph and spark. Strictly played for laughs (are they laughing at us for buying this turkey?) I know that the show has been sold out on Broadway but this is a new market; these people can't possibly remember how good the original was with Ethel Merman. While I certainly cannot fault producers for wanting to revive great shows (and this is a great one) they need to be more careful and try not to modernize, satirize, etc., the older versions. And what's more, isn;'t the director 90+ years old? What was he thinking? Not a great disc. Mama Rose is NOT Evita!

Buyer beware. Seek out the Columbia disc of the original Broadway cast with Ethel Merman and Jack Klugman.
