I purposely hadn't watched Gypsy in such a long time so when the time came to see it again, it would be like watching it for the first time again. And OH MY GOD. I had forgotten how totally mesmerising this production was from the very first up-beat of the orchestra to the final down-beat of the conductor. 2 hours & 15 just flew by and I am so grateful for BBC4 for repeating it. Lots of more positive reports from twitter (searching the #Gypsy hashtag). Really not seen any performance in a musical like Imelda before or since.
Now the only thing is, BBC4: Please sir, may we have some more??

So Adele has said she wants to play Mama Rose 'when she's 50'. Firmly added to my wish list! Do we think she could do it? Can she act at all?

Even if she can't, she's got about 20 years to get a couple of lessons in. I must say though, there is something just slightly pant-wettingly thrilling about imagining *that* voice belting out "I had a dreeeeeeeam, a dream abut youuuuuu baby . . "

Adele's voice is so ridiculously affected though. It was ages before I worked out she wasn't singing about Mr Rumbold in Skyfall.

She might have to work her way up before playing the most demanding role in musical theatre. I suggest 4th understudy midwife in Wicked would be a good start 😬

I just watched this for the second time since I saw it last Christmas. Damnnn. I wish I could express how amazing it is... but... blaufhjfsa....
Are the BBC 'recording' any other shows this year? I doubt it...

Are the BBC 'recording' any other shows this year? I doubt it... Peter Pan Goes Wrong? Although, apparently it's being filmed at Pinewood Studies and features David Suchet as a narrator so it could be quite different than the stage show.

FYI, Gypsy has just been released on Blu-ray in the States. www.blu-ray.com/movies/Gypsy-Blu-ray/161558/#ReviewI saw this (twice!) from front-row center at the Savoy and am so happy to now have a permanent record of this production and Imelda's amazing performance.

Thanks for that. For the price I am going to get a copy and can delete my copy from my Tivo box to free up some space.

Does anyone know if the bluray is region free or region 1 only? Hmm, for what it's worth, check it out at HMV.Com and that should give you the information you need.
