I am a huge Patti Lupone fan. I think nobody can match her voice. I don't know why the rights holder of the "Gypsy" will not get a production going with Ms. Lupone. To me its money in the bank if Patti Lupone plays Mama Rose on Broadway. I thought producers like to make money!
In case you didn't know Patti got rave reviews playing Mama Rose in Chicago (The actual city).
Patti Lupone has a loyal following! The play "Gypsy" has a following!
I wish I knew how to raise the money. I know the show would be a huge success.

This has nothing to do with making money but personal issues. Arthur Laurents (book writer, gypsy) cast Patti in a play he wrote a few years back that she refused to bring to Broadway. He was furious. He's been spiteful ever since. He prevented Lupone's Gypsy from reaching new york dispite the fact she had been discussing the role with Sam Mendes for two years prior to Bernadette Peters playing the role with Mendes directing.
Is that a rumor or a fact? If its true what were Patti's reasons for not going to broadway. Did she not care for that play? Did she have prior comitments?
Well how old is Arthur Lawerence? Maybe he will be dead an his estate won't care about some old fight.
