Hey I was just wondering...I believe that when Bernadette first comes into the theater during Gypsy she walks in from the back...what isle does she walk down, the one to the left or right of center? I have a seat on the left isle and I was wondering if she'd be passing by

is it the right if you're looking from the stage or sitting in your seat?

lol! Does she actually walk up the entire aisle to the stage, or does she walk up from the orchestra pit?

She walks down the aisle from the back of the theatre to the stairs leading up to the stage. Its not until she's about half way down the aisle that she says " Sing out Louise!" though.

She starts at the back of the theater and walks all the way up the right aisle, then up a couple steps to the middle of the stage :-)

That.... is very cool. The seats I have for the show are first row center, but I have no idea where that puts me in relation to the right-side aisle. I'll have to keep that in mind, though. So she just walks in from the lobby, or is she actually standing in the back or sitting somewhere in the back?

How funny must it be for people who haven't seen the show (and don't know that Rose does this at the beginning) to see some woman marching up the center aisle in the dark after the show has started. I imagine a few of them must think, "Well. That is SO rude. Why can't people arrive on time?" Hee.

Sorry! I was going to say I bet it's really a fabulous entrance. She probably doesn't have the problem I had when I entered down the aisle as Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz: people wandering about the aisle.

Good question. Is she waiting in the back, or in the lobby? I wasn't sitting on the orchestra level so I couldn't tell. If she entered from the lobby it would be so awesome to wait out there and maybe have a little chat before she had to go on!! LOL...or if she waits in the back, imagine the people in the last row...you'd be watching her stand there wondering what she was doing!

She comes from downstairs ( where the restrooms are) and then waits in the back of the lobby. Its obviously no big secret but I also hope it doesn't encourage people to maybe *try* and meet her by going down there before the show-- which I think would be a rather inappropraite thing to do. She is technically working at that point so it wouldn't be fair to appraoach her and try to engage in a conversation. She has a security guard with her at that point anyways.

Don't worry! I was just kidding. Obviously you're not gonna pull up a chair and offer to make a run to Starbucks!

When I saw it, my dad and I were sitting on the right aisle in almost the last row of the orchestra. Since I knew she came in from there, I turned around and saw her standing there, and pointed her out to my dad. But he didn't realize who she was, and when she started walking down she stopped for a few seconds about 4 rows in front of us before she finally said "Sing out Louise." My dad was like "Oh- that's Bernadette. I was about to tell her to sit down." I thought that was funny

One time when I was there, I was sitting on the right aisle, and she had started to walk down and the two womn in front of me were saying, "What is this woman doing! That's so rude." LOL I didn't say anything to them...even though I wanted to. Then when they realized it was Bernadette they kind of slumped into their seats a little. HAHAHA
