  • If anyone wants a copy of this show on dvd with a autographed playbill of Gypsy, signed by Patti LuPone, Laura Benanti and Boyd Gained. Hit me up on my aim xoalxscrzox , im looking to trade both those items for the Judi Dench cast recording of A Little Night Music

  • Sorry I don't know if this was early in the run. Laura Benanti is such a great actress, she gave me chills when I saw this

  • ALL acting is so lame! I can get every emotion on a dime... watch out!!

  • I've so far seen 3 versions of this scene and I must say, this is the most convincing one I've ever seen. Leave it to the legends to portray such a scene so perfectly!

  • "I LOVE IT!" LMAO

  • Utterly amazing.

  • I respect Laura Benanti's deeper resonance and performance, but I do perosnally like Cynthia Gibb's performance better. Of course, I sat through that whole movie to watch her develop in that role, a moment of this play doesn't do justice to the character.

  • My favorite scene! Thanks for posting!

  • @Brathford Well of course we know that someone working in casting must be the utlimate arbiters of taste in matters of theater (certainly above the paying audience and theater critics). And while I admit that the scene could have been toned down in terms of impact, I still hold that the genuine raw emotions displayed here beats the synthetic repressed performances we see in most commercial pursuits. And the late Arthur Laurents seemed to think so as well.

  • @kornpone See my response above.

  • @futuresuperstar4life Ok in response to you and all the others below, I work in casting for Broadway. So my opinions are hardly from some theater lover who does not have an objective eye. I do this for a living...so I am pretty well qualified to say that Patti and Laura both overacted the shot out of this, EVEN FOR THE THEATER! And the whole, "It's on film so it looks sillier than it was live." argument, does not hold water. I saw it live too...and it sucked then too. Period.

  • @Brathford study some of the tchniques of theatre!
