I hear this production is the same version that played in London earlier this year. Anyone know much else about this? Great looking cast.

Their website says "Be the first to see it before it goes to Broadway."
Really now?

"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022)
"Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009)
"Sondheim's own favorite star performances? [Bernadette] Peters in ''Sunday in the Park,'' Lansbury in ''Sweeney Todd'' and ''obviously, Ethel was thrilling in 'Gypsy.'' Nytimes, 2000

Posted: 12/30/13 at 5:33pmLovely cast, and not to hang the black crepe, but it has only ever worked in concert thanks to Yeston's glorious choral passages. I do like seeing the word "intimate" in the marketing and I can imagine it might be persuasive in Westchester. On Broadway? Not so much. I wish them well with a tricky piece.

Posted: 12/30/13 at 11:51pmI saw a super intimate production of the show in Rhode Island last summer. Just piano, cello, and violin, I believe. Really beautiful. You really don't need these huge mind-blowing special effects. It can be very cleverly staged.
