Angela Lansbury in 'Gypsy' (1974 B'way Revival)

Angela Lansbury giving one HELL of a performance as Mama Rose in the 1974 B'way revival of 'Gypsy.' This woman is SO amazing. Features "Some People," "Together Wherever We Go," and "Rose's Turn." Rex Robbins as Herbie, and Zan Charisse as Louise.

Hey DivaBehavior, I was in the Lansbury Broadway and Pre-Broadway tour in 1974. I would love to know where you got this...love to get a copy myself. I am currently directing Vicki Lewis in "Gypsy" for the new North Shore if you are in that area, come around.

This is the only footage I have of AL in "Gypsy," and I downloaded it off of Youtube a couple years ago before it was taken down : /

But WOW! That's quite a story! Who did you play?

I saw Angela 3 times in London, 3 times in NYC and 4 times in L.A. She is the very best of all the Roses hands down. She stopped the show in London and got a 15 minute standing ovation on opening night, sorry to say I wasn't there that night.

Do my eyes deceive me... Or is that a picture of you WITH La Lansbury?! If it is, you are one of the luckiest people. Ever. To have been in the present of that goddess!

[Rhasslairiel32]

Definitely my favorite Rose.

[artofpoetry]

My god...and she did this every night? Amazing stamina, putting her all into EVERY. SINGLE. SONG.

[Twil1ght2000]

Wow - thanks so very much! Living on the West Coast, I've never had the chance to see her live - this is so wonderful!

God. Why did i have to be born in the 80's? I would give anything, ANYTHING, to have seen this. Angela is amazing and brilliant in everything does. Seeing her 'Rose's Turn' gave me chills. Too bloody perfect.

@terrryc She chose MSW though. She chose television.

[johnyzero2000]

Please say this version of Gypsy was recorded entirely on videotape so La Lansbury's performance is preserved!!!!

[junkholder]

The only time I ever got to see her live was in Beauty/Beast when she was Ms. Potts! AMAZING. People applauded half way through the song! She is so so loved! This would have been amazing to see live!

Seeing Angela Lansbury do Rose's Turn would be a religious experience in and of itself, without the rest of the musical. The woman is GOD XD

I saw this production on closing night.

Every once in a while, all the aficionados in NYC get the same idea & this night was one of them.

At first, I don't think the cast realized. The audience truly apprieciated EVERYTHING.

buttt then they caught on to the type of house they were playing to and one fed off the other until a crescendo at Rose's Turn.

I truly felt the balcony shake as the fans cheered & stomped.

BRAVO !!! a night to never be forgotten.

OH MY GOD. I cannot get over the amazingness of this woman. She is so incredibly talented - the best Rose! There is no one like her!

[superduffman22]
