Heard a rumor that one of the not-for-profts, either MTC or Roundabout, might bring in this production of GYPSY as part of their season. Of course, the great Imelda has just been announced for Martha in WHO'S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF? in London. Any news?

Imelda is dong Virginia Woolf in the West End Feb-May 2017, so looking at least next season for any Gypsy, if anything.

I thought she overacted terribly on the video. I'd rather see her as Martha than Rose.

Am I the only one who thinks we can go a few more years before another Gypsy revival?

I would love to see what she does with Martha. She will probably be great in the role.

She'll be sensational in Virginia Woolf?, but have we heard if Roundabout is having another musical this season?  I've heard a lot of negative things about Holiday Inn recently and I can't imagine that being their only musical this season.

Roundabout's last spot for the season was filled by Marvin's Room.

I feel this rather depressing play needs an 11 o'clock number [preferably the finale from Gypsy] inserted when least expecting it] .After all the design is rather shabby/cardigans/kids/no kids-perfect!

Martha to George--after she swears and beats him----'Here she is world--Heeeere's Mar[tha]'--it will work !

I absolutely loved this production and so glad I was able to see it live. Wish her Sweeney Todd transferred

Marvin's Room is going to be eligible at the 2018 Tony Awards, so technically speaking, that will take place next season.

Though nothing has been announced for what will play at Studio 54 after Holiday Inn yet.

I would much rather see her as Martha. Patti's Rose will fulfil me for a long, long time.

I remember reading here that Roundabout talks fell through, and that Holiday Inn could extend through to the summer. Either way, Roundabout was holding off on announcing an additional Broadway show for their season, but that turned out to be Marvin's Room.

BroadwayWorld article from a month or two ago said Staunton was in talks to bring the production in 2018, but it didn't mention a specific season. Either way, she's doing Virginia Woolf in London this winter, so it won't be anytime soon.

They think Holiday Inn will run that long? Oof.

True, but I assume Cupid Boy2 was referring to this current RTC subscriber season, which Marvin's Room will be included in.

I'm fairly certain all "talks" for this to come in were awhile ago and then died.

From my understanding the very negative buzz after the screening/dvd release stateside killed any talks. After seeing it in person and on video I think that's for the best. Her Lovett would be a much more welcome transfer, either in that production of Sweeney or a new one.

She was a brilliant Mrs. Lovett. That should have been the production to transfer!
