I mean I’ll watch it but I have to ask why? There’s already a movie and two concert productions available (the first 10th anniversary concert is still the best one) and the 25th anniversary concert already features performances by Alfie Boe and Matt Lucas in the same roles. This seems unnecessary.

But that would’ve made cam mac less money...
In our millions, in our billions, we are most powerful when we stand together. TW4C unwaveringly joins the worldwide masses, for we know our liberation is inseparably bound.

They did. Not sure for what purpose.
"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

I saw this the day I arrived in London recently, figuring if I took a jet lag-induced nap during the show it wouldn't matter much. I'm happy to report that it was a thrilling performance. Did not sleep a wink. And because the show is so much about the passage of time, it is very moving to see Michael Ball, the original Marius, now splendidly playing Javert, some three decades later, side-by-side a new generation of actors.
