@itsAsin Such a good show. Gypsy is often described as having the perfect book of a musical.
Have you seen any of the other filmed versions of Gypsy? There's another movie with Rosalind Russell from the 60s, and a pro-shot of the 2015 London production with Imelda Staunton.
(I happened to be at the performance they filmed... though it's also possible they shot it over several nights.)
i am going to check those out! i know that Ethyl Merman famously played Mama Rose back in the day. every 4th of July i do my biggest Ethyl Merman belt of 'God Bless America' and get a bunch of laughs.
i am glad you made this community! i read over your post history earlier and lots of great info and memories. thanks!
