Linda Balgord was not Patti LuPone's standby in GYPSY. Lenora Nemetz was her standby and only played the role on the Sunday matinee the day before Patti did the cast recording.

this is incredibly different to the only other footage on youtube of her singing this…it’s crazy how a production and performance can change over such a short amount of time! LOVED this whole production, Tyne and Linda had no competition, they were both simply fantastic!

It was her only performance of Rose, actually...

such brilliant casting

Do you have a tradelist? Could you say me where can i found the whole show video? I really want to see the scenes from Jason Alexander, specially the Marry Me one.

1-2: Vanidad de vanidades, dijo el Eclesiastés, vanidad de vanidades y todo lo de acá bajo no es más que vanidad. 1-3: ¿Qué saca el hombre de todo el trabajo conque se afana sobre la tierra o debajo de la capa del sol? Véase: Biblia. Eclesiastés, el Predicador de la divina Sabiduría. En LA OPERA DE TRES CENTAVOS, de Bertolt Brecht y Kurt Weill, se encuentra esta aria que evoca al gran rey sabio, Salomón, el Eclesiastés. El montaje de RAJATABLA, con la Orquesta Sinfónica Municipal de Caracas, la ofrece en su repertorio, que culminara sus dos semanas de estreno en la Sala Anna Julia Rojas, de UNEARTE, el pasado domingo 8 de noviembre y que anuncia su reposición en el Teatro Municipal de Caracas, el sábado 21 y el domingo 22 de noviembre. Sirva este KZbin, para invitar al hermoso montaje de Rajatabla, tan hermoso como aquel que nos trajo su original: el BERLINER ENSEMBLE, con Helen Weigel, en su visita al VIII FESTIVAL INTERNACIONAL DE TEATRO DE CARACAS, de 1990, el Festival del ATENEO DE CARACAS, aquel, de Carmen Ramia y Carlos Giménez.

Great talent.

This was the first musical that I ever saw on Broadway-- with Linda Lavin because Tyne Daly had taken a hiatus. I later saw Daly when she returned to the show, and while she was great, I think Lavin gave the role more psychological complexity. At times Rose seemed like a mentally disturbed person, not just an overbearing stage mother. I'll never forget the way she said "You go to hell" to Herbie. It froze my blood.

i didn't knew that she sings k.weil!! cool!

Powerhouse!

"They burned his corpse in Palatine." Refers to Palatine Hill which is located on the fringe of the Roman Forum where Caesar was cremated.

@trbronthestage Hey I was wondering where you got the lyrics? Been looking but only finding partials thanks!

She sounds like Bernadette Peters

She's amazing. Simply amazing.

Scott Holmes, Scott Ellis, and Jason Alexander?

Much better singer than Daly, though i Love Tyne Daly's Rose(thank god someone had the balls to bring a camera into the theatre then to capture it) vocally there is absolutely no contest Lavin is much nicer to listen too

she is incredible! do you have the strip from this performance? i'd like to hear it, it seems that the strip in every production is altered in some way

... fond memories! ... one of the great pleasures of my career-playing drums for two great ladies of the stage: Chita and Liza in "The Rink!"

she's been great since day one. that voice can do anything and she knows how to interpret songs. ( streisand and midler used to be able to do this too). i wish she was chosen to be norma desmond in the movie of "sunset blvd". love to see her work with ellen greene as well. another one who kept her vulnerability in her voice.

Thanks so much for posting these. I think she's pretty good. I like her giggles during the song. The first part of the song is supposed to be fun and you can tell that she's having a great time. If only someone had video of her in the role.

@darrenkoe2007 I just posted her Rose's Turn!

Cool! Really Rare! Do you have "Rose's Turn"? I'm glad someone got her performance on tape.

wow, this is before cell phone cameras. And I am sure there were not videos allowed. HOW was this filmed? Love it!

lucky duck. i wanted to see it but couldn't

i saw this production and was totally surprised and blown away by Cyndi Lauper. thank you so much for putting this up! it's one of my favourite songs and a superb performance.

Is there a recording of this show anywhere with Cyndi Lauper?

la Divina in tutto il suo splendore^^ grazie x il video!!!!

Thanks, trbronthestage! Cyndi is amazing! And thanks for the video. See you!

This is so amazing... I'd just LOVE to have seen Liza in her prime like this, in a good show. Her voice in this is amazing, that last note at the top of the stairs - wow! What a wonderful star :)

STUNNING, Gorgeous, AMAZING!! THanks THANkS THANKS for sharing!!!! :)

OMG! I am beyond thrilled to see this!!! :D

Thanks for posting this!

I saw this performance......Cyndi was amazing in Three Penny Opera.

Thanks, thanks!!! I always wanted to see this performance! Cyndi is amazing!!!!

I agree! Regardless of the production's mixed reception, it's a shame not to have performances like Cyndi's, Ana Gasteyer's, Jim Dale's and Christopher Innvar's preserved. I keep hoping Cyndi will record one of the songs on her own CD.
