Here are some more information for Gypsy Patti:

With no big name shows to take all the glory, the Tony awards have arrived This Year with all the usual excitement and fanfare. The winner of the Best Musical was "In the Heights", a story, or a collection of stories, about chasing the American Dream and lottery winnings in Upper Manhattan Latino families. With its salsa-inspired rap numbers, and dynamic dancers and music, the show has been a hit amongst theater goers and critics alike.

Written and conceived by 28 year old Lin-Manuel Miranda while he was still a student, the show features Miranda taking center stage, bounding around dynamically and punching out the rap-dialogue in a style many musical goers may be unaccustomed. And when taking the stage to accept his award he continued the style telling the audience "I used to dream about this moment, now I'm in it," "Tell the conductor to hold the baton a minute." And with a nod to Broadway legend Stephen Sondheim, Miranda raps: "Look, Mr. Sondheim, I made a hat where there never was a hat and it's a Latin hat at that."

Miranda's show is a window into modern Latino culture, perhaps with some gloss on it, but a window nonetheless. His first Broadway show, Miranda wrote the score and all of the songs, as well as playing the lead role. He simply lights up the stage with a dazzling display and draws the viewer in. The show played off-Broadway for a season. The orchestration of the show is bright and vibrant and very modern. "In the Heights" also won awards for the score, orchestrations and choreography.

No standout show took all the awards this year, the prizes were shared around. Winners in the recent past such as Jersey Boys and Wicked are still playing to packed houses around Broadway. The revival musical "South Pacific" picked up seven wins including best revival and best actor - for the lead, Paulo Szot - in addition to four design awards and an award for best director, Bartlett Sher.

Some of the other winners were:

Best play: August: Osage County

Best revival of a musical: South Pacific

Best performance by a leading actor in a musical: Paulo Szot, South Pacific

Best performance by a leading actress in a musical: Patti LuPone, Gypsy

The 62nd annual Tony Awards was hosted by comedian and talk show host Whoopi Goldberg. Around 790 people from the theater industry -- from actors, to directors to journalists -- vote for the Tony Awards. The Tony Awards were established in 1947 and are named after Atoinette Perry, whose nickname was Toni. Perry, who died in 1946, was an actress, stage director and philanthropist.

The Craze of the Broadway Show Gypsy is Spreading!

Get ready to experience the drama on stage where dreams go haywire and, although they are fulfilled, it’s not in the way that the dreamer wants. We’re talking of the Broadway show Gypsy . The show depicts the dreams of a showbiz mom who dreams of seeing her two daughters reach the peak of stardom.

Her dream is fulfilled, but in another way. One of her daughters manages to become famous in showbiz, not as a star, but as a striptease artist! The lady in question is Gypsy Rose Lee. The musical is produced on the basis of memoirs of this artist. Arthur Laurenta has written the book and Roger Berlind has produced it in collaboration with The Routh Frankel Baruch Viertel Group.

The Broadway show Gypsy has stars that have bagged multiple awards. Patti Lupone (as Mama Rose), Boyd Gaines (as Herbie), and Laura Benanti (as Louise) are the talented artists that have added to the charm of this musical story.

Some of the songs that would flutter your heart and make you swing in your seats are:

“You'll Never Get Away From Me”

“Together Wherever We Go”

“Let Me Entertain You”

“Everything’s Coming Up Roses”

“Small World”

Here’s a little secret that very few people know about. In 1959, when the Broadway show Gypsy was on a tryout tour, several songs were removed from the musical. This included the song “Nice, She Ain’t” for the character Herbie. The reason for the removal of song was that Jack Klugman was a terrible singer!

Besides this, another song “Mama’s Talkin’ Soft” for the characters Baby June and Baby Louise was cut from the musical. The reason for this was a bit amusing – the small girls, including the child actress playing the role of Baby Louise, had to stand on an elevated platform on the stage; and the girls were terrified to do so!

However, the song “Mama’s Talkin’ Soft” was recorded later by Petula Clark. It was released in 1959 in UK as a single.

Yes, it’s true; waiting at the box office with a look of a die hard, fanatical theatre fan is a unique experience. And when you get the tickets after much struggle, how you climb on cloud nine! However, how does it feel when you’re left empty-handed and you have to watch other lucky fellows with envy!

You can always hear the story of “Gypsy” from your friends. However, the real excitement is in going to the theatre and watching the whole show right till the end. To experience the charisma exuded by each character, you need to be there, where the action is happening!

Does anyone know if the Broadway musical Gypsy Revival with Patti LuPone is doing any meet the cast things?

I was wondering because I know last year the cast of Mary Poppins was doing it for Broadway cares and if not is there anyway one could meet Patti LuPone -- such as a meet and greet after Gypsy?

Go to the stage door. That's where the actors come out after a show. I don't know where the stage door is where Gypsy is playing, but if you ask the ushers, they'll help you. Or just follow the throngs of people that are also bound to be looking for the door. lol
