While the talented ANN JILLIAN played "Dainty June" in the original film "GYPSY", I found this "Baby June" very talented. All the best! Be so nice if you could post a clip of Ann Jillian "Dainty June" from the film - I'm sure it would help young talents who will go on to do the role on stage. Thank you so much.

@ManagerGuy1 I have never seen the film and don't have any clips from it, sorry.

@cecilegreard do you know who the actress is who is baby june? I am in a production of Gypsy now and the girl who plays Older June plalyed Baby June on Broadway and I am pretty sure this is her, I have been looking for a video of her as it for a while and hopefully this is it!

@angelannarocks Here's the cast list:

Bernadette Peters (Rose), Tammy Blanchard (Louise), John Dossett (Herbie), Kate Reinders (Dainty June), David Burtka (Tulsa), Heather Tepe (Baby June), Addison Timlin (Baby Louise), Heather Lee (Tessie Tura), Julie Halston (Miss Cratchit/Electra), Kate Buddeke (Mazeppa), Brooks Ashmanskas (Mr. Goldstone/Pastey), Michael McCormick (Uncle Jocko/Cigar), and William Parry (Pop/Mr. Kringelein). Maureen Moore will stand by for Bernadette Peters.

her voice is too nasal and sounds forced to be higher then it is.

@manga12 I'm not sure but I think that's more or less the way Baby Junes are supposed to sing...

@JollyMe08 ,

Actually, Ethel Merman never did a film version of Gypsy.  She played Rose in the orginal stage version in 1959. If you're thinking of the 1962 film, it was Rosalind Russell who played Rose in that, and for what it's worth I prefer the TV version with Bette Midler, but the 1962 film is definitely worth seeing.

[JollyMe08]

@manga12 It is, but it's supposed to be. If you watch the whole show, you'll get it. I recommend watching the movie. I like the one with Bette Midler, but granted, I have not seen the one with Ethel Merman. I should. She's The Queen. But yeah, it's about a stage mother, and Baby June is her *dramatic hand gesture* "STAR!"

[manga12]

Yea I guess, maybe too overdone for me.

[JollyMe08]

@manga12 That's how it's supposed to be. Very exaggerated that way.

My local theater is gonna be doing Gypsy and Im trying out for one of the Newsboys and I need to get what I need to do but this helps a lot so thanks!

@cecilegreard You are right. Baby June is supposed to be nasal, just like Rose is supposed to be loud. The way the characters in Gypsy sing is also a big part of their persona.
