Okay, this might seem silly but I had to post anyways. I put in my Gypsy cast recording today and was listening to the overture and thinking "why the heck did it have to close?" Nothing even compares to its brillance and I miss it to death! I mena, the casting of a show like this could not have gotten any better! BP, Tammy, John, the strippers?! Man, I miss that show like no other. Anyone else feeling this?

Everytime I look at my framed, signed by the entire cast, Gypsy poster - the purple one, not the black one.

I agree...I have a framed signed poster too (the black one) that makes me miss the show!

its funny because when I look at my signed stuff it doesn't have the same effect that the music does! I think the music was really the "Star of the Show"! Its like "Sondheim and Lauretes music starring in Gypsy"! lol! and the vocals are incredible. No other overture will compare!

Everytime I look at the CD or look at my poster of Bernadette in the dress from Rose's Turn. It was such a great show.

Just a reminder-Jules Styne composed the score and Arthur Laurents wrote the book of the show (I know it's easy to mix up names-I've done it myself)...

Funny, after going a couple of months without listening to it, I popped my compilation "BP" tape into my car player that has songs from "Gypsy" on Side One. Driving home from work last night, on hearing "Rose's Turn," I was thinking: "God, why did it close? People just don't know what they missed," and "Wouldn't it be so great if they had a cast reunion and taped it?? Dream, dream, dream..."

That's all right-I just realized that it should be Jule,not Jules.

Jules Verne...Jule Styne.

See what I mean?

I was going to listen to my Gypsy CD the other day, and then I realized...I have no idea where it is!

This does not make me happy at all. But I'm sure it will turn up...hopefully, however, without gnaw marks from my dogs.

I had so hoped the show would go on national tour. We could all have caught up with it again at stops along the way.

I thought it was interesting that in several interviews in connection with her latest concerts, Bernadette said she wished the show had not had to close. It seems that she was really relishing and drawing from the nightly ritual of becoming Rose.
