That's OK for Some People...

Eddie and I saw Gypsy last night. And Patti LuPone plays Mama Rose like the stage mother from hell, with the voice as clear as moonlight.

It was something to see a Stage Diva in a role written for a Stage Diva and living up to every bit of it. She was, by turns, defiant, desperate, conniving, insidious, bitter and proud - sometimes within seconds of each other. She didn't just sing the role, she acted it, sang it and inhabited it.

Ed and I liked it.
