Patti LuPone has a young son-he's about 12,I think-and a committed run in a show is hard on the family,and apparently her son let her know that in not so many words during Noises Off. Now that he's getting older,that may change.

I really think it will be Betty Buckley. She could really carry it off. I would totally go see it too. Yeah!

I thought I heard that Patti has another Sondheim revival in the works. I can't remember which one...possibly A Little Night Music. I believe she was origionally offered one of the roles but had to turn it down because she was about to do Sunset Blvd. I can't be too sure though, my memory is a little shady.

Judy Blazer would be my pick to fill the role-however she may not be a big enough name to carry the show on. I think that Megan Mullaly would also be a wonderful choice. Someone who hasn't been mentioned that I think could possibly do a short run with the show would be Patty Duke.

I say when Bernadette ends her contract (let's hope that's a long way's away) that someone good comes in. Here is one of my choices, Bebe Neuwirth. She can definately sing it... she is another sexy woman in her "Late thirties" and I think she'd be fun to see in an acting role rather than a dancing role.

Actually I would have said that Bebe Neuwirth definitely can not sing it. Sorry but she doesn't have the range. At least in my opinion.

I think Megan would be a fun choice, but I'm not sure she has the control and stamina needed to pull off this role...as much as I'd love to see her play it.

Patti LuPone played Desiree in the Ravina Festival's concert performance of A Little Night Music in 2002 (and played Fosca this past August in Ravina's production of Passion-with Audra McDonald as Clara). I don't know of any plans to bring it to Broadway.

Maybe it was Ravina that she was asked to play in the origional and had to turn it down. There was some Sondheim revival that she was discussing for the future. I thought she was great as Mrs. Lovett, she really impressed me.

Looks like Gypsy will be on through Sept 5, 2004. John Dossett has agreed to stay with the show until that date. Wonder what Bernadette will do?

I'm really glad that John is sticking with the show. He's so great in it and this just shows his immense dedication. I'm also very pleased to hear that Gypsy will be playing until September. This means I can see it during this summer Bernadette or not.

Well I don't mean to wish any ill-will but just because John Dossett has agreed to stay with the production until September does not mean it will necessarily stay open until that time. If Bernadette leaves before then and they can't find a suitable replacement they will either close it or business might be so bad that they are forced to close it. Even now Gypsy is only running in the 70s percent. I would think as long as Bernadette stays with it that it will remain open. But you never know. After the holidays is a very lean time for Broadway and a lot of shows are forced to close.
Here's hoping ticket sales pick up and they stay in there for a long run.

Ya its tru its only at 70% but the way i think about it is that it is right before the holidays so most people will go to NYC during the holidays then before the holidays. Make sense? I dont know though, but I think Bernadette will stay
She's a trouper!
I MADE YOU!!
