Hey all 
There is a FANTASTIC article on Playbill online about TOFT (Theatre on Film and Tape) and how the archive came to be, and how they went about filming the revivals of GYPSY and NINE.
(For those of you who don't know, TOFT is the archiver of all the videos at the Library for the Performing Arts.)
There's also a really nice section towards the end about one of Bernadette's performances of Rose's Turn, and about the cast gathering in the wings to listen to it, even though they've listened to it from backstage every night.
The link to the article is here:

Happy reading!

Regis: And look at all this hair. My God. That's a lot of hair. Look at this. How does hair get this way?
Bernadette: Um.. it sort of grew out of my head like this.

In the article, it said that Sam Mendes went to watch Tyne Daly's tape. How does one gain access to these tapes. Goodness there are so many tapes I would kill to see in that collection of the last 25 or so years of Broadway!!

AND HER DAUGHTER, GYPSY!-" Act 2, Scene 6
