I've had people's phones go off because they forgot to turn them off (one time I found out after the show that it was a friend of mine and he was mortified), audience members talking to each other, snoring (not a good sign I guess :D), incessant coughing without excusing themselves, belching. People are amazing.
Now that I’ve seen this for the second time I really liked her. The main thing that put me off before was that she sung it too much. But otherwise great.
Having worked in theatre, both on and off stage, what people don't realize is when you pull your phone out in a darkened house (where the audience sits) on full brightness...*we can see you!* Not only is it distracting and rude to those sitting around you, it's also distracting and potentially dangerous to those onstage; especially if a flash photo is involved like in this case. Simply put in a hopefully kind way: Unless the show encourages you to take out your phone, please don't. Whatever it is, it can wait. If not, if it's an emergency...why did you come if you knew it was an emergency?
She ruined the performance herself, I didn't ever hear any click. For me this moment is a No No and I would definetly asked for a refund and never go to watch her again. I understad theatre ettiquette, but what she did is just too much. She tried to humiliate the person. Unecessary
This score was genuinely goosebump-inducing the first time I saw the movie. I'm not gonna say it prepares you for what's to come, but it's loaded to the brim with sadness and regret. And yet even with that much negative feeling riding on it, it still communicates a pragmatic glimmer of hope. A hope that is embodied in the film's final scene. They might be cruel to each other, they might bicker and snipe and rage and hate, but at least they each have someone else to do that poisonous waltz with as they enter old age. Because even with their relationship the way it is, it's better than being alone
Im sorry but she went completely overboard here. She shouldve asked politely end of. She was actually being more disrespectful and the audience are ridiculous cheering her on
She is so right. Last weekend I almost got someone s cellphone in the movie theater. She was talking on it the entire movie, every time someone called or texted her cellphone s bright light/notification flashed. So disrespectful, so impolite, so rude. So, Mrs. LuPone was on her right. Well done, bravo!
This is still fierce. Even though she was yelling at a photographer hired to actually take photos of closing night. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Legendary - being cheered for yelling at a COMPANY photographer 😂
lol a lot of you don't know this (apprently) but he was hired by the theatre to take pictures of her during the show for her last show. He was doing a rehearsal shoot and she was (reportedly) informed of that multiple times before hand lol
Truly the best ending I’ve ever seen to this musical-in real life, Gypsy Rose Lee and her mother never reconciled. The idea that Rose held onto her own delusion and watched it fade before her eyes is so dramatically poignant.
I adore the theme. It's actually based on Bach's Cantata bwv 156 arioso, at the director's recommendation. As is often the case, temp music during the editing process guides many directors, including this time Mike Nichols. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xueopsTHesw.htmlsi=BiEPURM3_7r0okIc
What she might have don to prompt more applause was to catch the conductor's eye and pat herself deliberately on the head. Which means, "Go back to the top."
I don't have enough musical knowledge to really understand or compare the two, but this main title theme seems very inspired by / similar to a rendition of Bach's Violin Concerto no.2 in E Major BWV 1042 II. Adagio, specifically the one played by Xuefei Yang on classical guitar (at around the 1 minute 40 mark of the Bach, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--CDpD3qwktc.html). Anyone know?!
