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.

Simply FABULOUS! November 16, 2008

I didn't think I'd like this recording as much as I did. I not only like it, I LOVE it! Highly recommended. Patti LuPone is sensational from start to finish.

We have have been waiting a long time for Patty Lupone to give us her interpretation of Mama Rose. She shines, she carries the show, but she does not overwhelm the rest of the cast. BRAVO

EVERYTHING COMES UP ROSES!!! October 29, 2008

I never got to see either Ethel Merman or Angela Lansbury on the role, but Rosalind Russell and Bette Midler would only hope to kiss the stage where Ms. LuPone stands. She's phenomenal, and you haven't seen this show if she's not in it. Best Gypsy Ever!!! Best Broadway Performer Ever!!! Period!

I saw this on broadway, Patti LuPone was an interesting Rose, she's got star quality but Rose she ain't.
I thought her only really impressive performance in the show was Rose's Turn. This was a barnstormer, she tore the place apart and really deserved the spontaneous standing ovation that she received. It's a bleak production, with hardly any set apart from a crumbling proscenium arch, the emphasis very much on the tawdry side of the last knockings of vaudeville and the sleaze of third rate burlesque. The cast recording is worth getting simply for the bonus tracks, makes you wonder why they cut them, in particular 'Smile Girls' . You Gotta Get a Gimmick is sadly
lacking in percussion , not enough bump and grind, the rest of the tracks are fine if you dont mind Patti's vocal gymnastics.

Best Rose Yet? October 19, 2008
AJK (Chicago, IL)

The latest contender to take on Rose, the "ultimate" woman's theatrical role, is Patti Lupone - and she's incredible. Not that her supporting cast (including Laura Benanti & Boyd Gaines) isn't terrific too, but this production is all about Patti. She certainly earned the Tony for Best Actress & may be the best Rose yet!

I have never loved the overall score for "Gypsy". It contains several great, classic songs that are among theatre's elite, but there are several songs that are simply less than satisfying for me. However, I agree it's a masterpiece & triumph for Stephen Sondheim. This cast recording is very good.
