[ NYT ] THEATER REVIEW | 'GYPSY'
New Momma Takes Charge by BEN BRANTLEY
YOU can tear down the black crepe, boys. Take the hearse back to the garage, and start popping Champagne corks. Momma's pulled it off, after all � big time.
Playing a role that few people thought would ever fit her and shadowed by vultures predicting disaster, Bernadette Peters delivered the surprise coup of many a Broadway season in the revival of "Gypsy" that opened last night at the Shubert Theater.
[ ND ] A 'Gypsy' We've Met Before by Linda Winer
'Gypsy' is by no means a disaster. It is merely a conventional, ordinary, stolidly professional and routine retelling of one of the last and one of the most important of the golden-age American musical comedies.
[ YN ] Revival of 'Gypsy' Opens on Broadway by MICHAEL KUCHWARA, AP Drama Critic
From the first four notes of the overture � which lyrically spell out the theme of the show ("I had a dream") � to the evening's blazing finale of "Rose's Turn," "Gypsy" never lets up. And neither does Mendes' production.
