Gypsy Rose Lee

Starring Patti LuPone. I nearly didn't go as a result, but glad I am I did. Rose is the perfect part for her, whereas I didn't enjoy her in Sweeney Todd last year much. It was so good to see a classic musical. Given that I hadn't seen it in years, I was surprised by just how many of the songs and lyrics I knew all the way through. Also, I'd only seen children's productions, I think, and the second act must've been quite shortened in those, as Louise's career as a stripper is pretty complete.

The highlight: Tulsa's "All I Need is the Girl"
