Synopsis We really don't care
what the show is about as long as Bernadette Peters is on the boards
as Mama Rose. Her voice might not be as big as Merman's but she's
the only diva who can take on the role. Now, the show: An
overbearing vaudeville stage mom lives her life through one talented
but rebellious daughter. After the budding young star leaves the act
it's up to not as pretty, not as talented sister Louise to pick up
the slack in her mom's quest for fame. Long emotionally -- and
financially -- supported by agent-cum-candy butcher Herbie Sommers,
Mama Rose pushes Louise to 'take it off' but finds herself outcast
when her fan-dancing daughter turns away from her and does not allow
her mother a share in her success
Notes The original musical
production of Gypsy bowed at the Broadway Theater May, 1959,
starring Ethel Merman as Rose, Jack Klugman as Herbie and Sandra
Church as Louise. The show ran for 702 performances, closing at the
Imperial Theater in March, 1961. Gypsy has had two Broadway
revivals: 1974 at the Winter
Garden Theater with Angela Lansbury, Rex Robbins and Zan
Charisse on the boards; and a 1 1/2 year run that started at the St
James Theater in 1989 with Tyne Daly, Jonathan Hadary and Crista
Moore
The 1962 movie version, starring Roz
Russell, Karl Malden and Natalie Wood, includes writing credits for
Arthur Laurents and Leonard Spigelgass based on Gypsy Rose Lee's
autobiography Gypsy, A Memoir, and music credits for Jule
Styne and Frank Perkins
