This week I am going to cover the opening of Gypsy on Broadway with Patti Lupone—I am so geekily excited, it’s embarassing (or pride-enducing, if you are my gay bestie from high school who is now a dramaturg and producer of cast recordings. Either way).
Someone told me seeing Patti do this role was like watching stars collide—everything in the right place at the right time. I cannot wait. Not that anyone is prepared to topple the Merman legacy, but…this looks good.
Seriously, Sondheim, props to you. I’m not sure there is a better anthem for lonliness and self-mythologizing and delusional behavior written for the stage.
Still wondering if I’m a nerd now?
