Rumor has it that
The Ambassador Theatre Group will produce
Gypsy in the West End in 2007. Speculation is running amuck among the chatteratti on who will be Mamma Rose. Could it be
Julia McKenzie who is doing in the Cardiff Festival (she's Mazeppa - but same production?)? Could it be
Patti who triumphed as Mamma Rose at the Ravinia Festival in August? Could it be
Bernadette since she was the last Broadway Mamma Rose and she herself brought up the possibility in an interview with Playbill back in 2004? Whoever she'll be, no doubt she'll be
better than anything we ever dreamed. (A person in the know says it's Patti, but Patti says we'll just have to wait for an official press release.)
My heart's aflutter...
ReplyDeleteLondon deserves better than Lupone's competent but essentially unimaginative interpretation.
