Loosely based on the memoirs of world-renowned striptease artist Gypsy Rose Lee, Gypsy follows the journey of the irrepressible Rose (Imelda Staunton, Vera Drake), the mother to end all stage mothers, as she balances the challenges of parenthood with the joys and heartbreaks of a life in the world of show business.

Here’s the thing, people talk about how she was over the top... she was NOT. She was playing to every person in the Savoy theater. That stage is gigantic, that house is A BEAST... she’s a pint sized woman. She was flawless. One of the best performances I have ever seen on the stage.

[@corvus1374]

Rose IS over the top.

[@ohheyididntseeu]

You're supposed to be over the top on these types of roles

[@Jeepgirlcj7]

That is exactly what I was going to say. Rose doesn't know how to be anything else but over the top!

[@winston.sullivan]

I always that people who say those things don't actually do, or watch, live theatre. Acting on film is very different from acting on stage, especially one that size.

[@utubewatcher806]

you can not see a subtle eyebrow raise from the back row of "theatre". Cineplex, yes, "theatrrre" nooo.

[@lightningzoneproductions5786]

Literally the only thing I knew this woman from was Harry Potter and I am just now discovering all of these stage credits. Imelda is AWESOME.

[@ironguanyin123]

Me too, she was so evil in Harry Potter that made me have reservations about this musical, was a bit afraid to see her! Ha ha, she definitely made a strong impression in my childhood. Plus the name Gypsy put me off, as I thought it was about gypsies. Wish there was more advertising and promotion and I would have gone to see the show. I only discovered it unfortunately yesterday and missed the show in London in 2015. I hope it will come back again soon, even near London, I'd take a train to see it .

[@JamesHarris-hl2bm]

If you do nothing else, see her in the 2004 film Vera Drake. She won almost every award for it, except the Oscar, and she blew Hillary Swank away in Million Dollar Baby. Highway Robbery!!!

[@ironguanyin123]

Thanks James. I did see Vera Drake. She was brilliant, even though I didn't like the film that much though. Found it a bit boring. I don't know why.

[@andrew42083]

Imelda Stauton nails every moment of this song. Her "Rose" understands that she's making up this story on the spot for Louise because it's what keeps them alive and fed. The sheer desperation and humanity that Imelda brings to this song is earth shattering.

[@lizbethaborden]

So true--This is a desperate woman talking her mousy young daughter into becoming a stripper so they both can eat. This is a great performance of that.

[@ACinemafanatic]

Angela Lansbury is my favorite rose next to Imelda they both bring this somewhat warmth to rose while also bringing her bitterness and desperation

[@CountryCowboy008]

People who are commenting that she's "overacting" have looked past the fact that this is a performance intended for at least a thousand-seater theater. She NEEDS to reach every corner of the house with her acting and singing. Remember that in film, everything can be magnified, so film actors can afford to be "subtle" if they want. Just to give an example, Anne Hathaway's I Dreamed the Dream worked very well in film because the camera is literally inches away from her face, but do you think it'll have the same effects if the same performance was done on stage? Definitely not.

[@ds2465]

This was Sondheim’s favorite version of the song.

[@cards0486]

Dylan Simon I just came here from an interview clip of Stephen S. in 2014. The show was getting ready yo open in London. He said when you hear her sing this you realize you’ve never heard it before.

[@nathancasillas6979]

Every Mama Rose has a different trait depending on the actress, and Imelda playing it SEEMS SO RIGHT.

[@c0brah2OO2]

You said it perfectly

[@AshAshBaby]

Every Rose plays this song so differently, it's kind of hard to compare them tbh. Imelda gives her this desperation, like she can't possibly go on if she gives up the dream. Versus Patti, who played it like she was a very manic, almost psychotic woman lost in a delusion. Bernadette played her a little more subdued, like Rose was so caught up in this fantasy dream that she couldn't wake up when the writing was on the wall. The two movie versions took different routes as well- Bette going the more manic route and Rosalind very bitter and angry at the opening of the number. And of course Ethel Merman was the original and hers kind of set the mold as this big, showy number. Definitely the delusional Rose with a little less of Patti's mania. It's hard to pick a favorite, but I like what Imelda is doing here with her acting choices, even if I've liked the singing of some other Roses a little better. ^^

[@winston.sullivan]

Agreed. Imelda is an actor who sings, and I think gives a perfect performance for the character even if her singing isn't perfect.

[@92jwiener]

I love Imelda's singing for the desperate character she is playing here. I think the vocals suit the performance. You're right about the many ways this character is played by the different actresses. I was watching to see how she would do, and I couldn't figure out what I was missing and why her performance stood out until I read your comment, and it really makes sense.

[@emc5190]

Imelda did nail her rendition of this song. In terms of acting, she’s an actor who can sing a number. But in my opinion, Mama Rose by Patti was something I could not get my mind of. Her singing, her vocal ability to have it sung like it was nothing. Almost every vocalists I heard sing this song had a their own different way to act & sing it.

[@chicagocarless]

Tyne Daly had this manic unexpectedness and extraordinary desperation in this number. She was furious on stage in the 30th anniv. revival. Bernadette Peters...I mean...It's just weird, as if she was never really awake.

[@andreapantoja8797]

She's got Kris Jenner shook when it comes to momagers

[@monicacarranco8525]

This comment made me cackle like a witch

[@JainaSoloB312]

1:13 the way she's pointing her fingers makes it look like a threat or a hostage situation! Which is kinda accurate. Truly masterful performance, she brings so many layers of the character through her physical acting.

[@organicproduce8675]

Omg I didn't even notice that until you point that out! Thanks lol 🤣

[@juliemiller3417]

I saw this show from the sixth row and the emotion pouring out of Imelda Staunton was like an assault. I have never experienced anything like it, possibly the most impressive performance I have seen in a theater.

[@thefabulousthomasj]

Finally! A Mama Rose I really believe!!! Kudos to Imelda Staunton; she knocked this "Gypsy" out of the ballpark.

[@madeleineclaire222]

thefabulousthomasj ANDDDD PATTI LUPONE AND ETHEL MERMAN.

[@thefabulousthomasj]

@@madeleineclaire222 No, I believed Imelda was Rose Hovick. Patti LuPone and Ethel Merman are excellent performers, but I don't believe them as Mama Rose because they are strong personalities, and for me, that gets in the way. They sell the musicality of the role but not the characterization.

[@ACinemafanatic]

Have you heard Angela Lansburys portrayal

[@AJpaws]

For those saying she's overacting....... Do you have anything about Broadway singing? 🤣 I saw this live and it was absolutely magical, an iconic West End performance, standing ovations all around

[@emhu2594]

[@janethothersall8345]

@@emhu2594…disagree, Ive seen both women sing this song live …..Imelda is simply the best by far!

[@jimtompkins-maclaine3752]

I love that her Rose captures the pathos of a devastated mother. She has just been deserted by the child that she put every ounce of her heart into for years. Now that is gone. So she immediately transfers all that attention onto a poor unsuspecting Louise who is not physically or emotionally equipped to assume June's position. I love this performance!

[@tiffanytaylor4684]

Sweet lord she killed this performance!!!!! Sheer perfection. I love how she’s able to breathe life into ever character she’s given.

[@kristenwinters7079]

I saw this show in the theatre a few days ago and I've never sobbed so hard in a theatre before. It seems like something harmless, upbeat and encouraging with no context, but the way the director had envisioned the show I watched, it hit home and really made me cry seeing how miserable and hurt Luis was

[@L1623VP]

Mama Rose is really a miserable character, living vicariously through her daughters, first June and then Louise. She only loves her daughters in so far as what they can gain her through show business. She doesn't love them for who they are. Louise understands that and knows she'll only get her mother's approval and love by doing her bidding. In the end, Mama Rose essentially prostitutes her own daughter in the strip shows just to stay in "show business", forcing Louise to compromise her dignity, but Louise still goes along with it, desperate to get her mother's approval, which never really comes. That's why in the end, when Rose says, "What did I do all this for?" Louise answers, "I thought you did it for me, Mama." It's all very sad. Gypsy isn't a feel-good show, and Rose isn't a very good mother. This show is almost always staged in an upbeat way when that doesn't really fit with the relationships or what's going on in the show. It sounds like the director of the production you saw got it right.

[@carrot1269]

Imelda Staunton elevates everything on stage she touches. I've seen her twice now in musicals and she was the standout of both performances both times. Damn that girl can play to a theatre.

[@jhhone]

This is the greatest female role in musical theatre! Imelda is superb!

[@maggiesmith856]

Mama Rose is certainly the Mount Everest of Obnoxious characters : a ruthless egomaniac who doesn't give a damn about her own children unless they are fulfilling her fantasies.

[@benlehrer1112]

This is incredible, like having a full breakdown on stage there at the end because she wants it so much.

[@erikfreitas7093]

Yes, love the intensity and desperation she brought to it! Stunning performance!

[@marynelson6818]

Wow! I never knew Imelda had a voice like that! I really liked this version. She was amazing!

[@finnwest4521]

[@Stryker4343]

Came here after hearing Staunton was cast in Follies. I was concerned with her singing (as Follies is such a technical, emotional show). Oh my gosh, no worries now! This is such in line with Merman's original take. On point and super emotional!

[@ronbenoit5237]

I've seen live and tv performances of this, but she did the best of anyone I ever saw, what a talent!!!!

[@robertristelhueber4459]

She absolutely blew me away when I saw this in London. Of all the performances I've seen on stage on Broadway, London, or anywhere else, nothing topped Staunton's performance in Gypsy. It's too bad she didn't get a chance to do it on Broadway too, she would have taken New York by storm.

[@ohheyididntseeu]

I had a dream, a dream about you, baby It's gonna come true, baby They think that we're through, but baby... You'll be swell, you'll be great Gotta have the whole world on a plate Starting here, starting now Honey, everything's coming up roses! Clear the decks, clear the tracks You got nothing to do but relax Blow a kiss, take a bow Honey, everything's coming up roses! Now it's your inning Stand the world on it's ear Said it's spinning That'll be just the beginning Curtain up, light the lights You got nothing to hit, but the heights You'll be swell, you'll be great I can tell, just you wait The lucky star I talk about is due Honey, everything's coming up roses For me and for you! You can do it All you need is a hand We can do it Momma is gonna see to it Curtain up, light the lights We got nothing to hit but the heights I can tell, wait and see There's a bell Follow me And nothing's gonna stop us Till we're through Honey, everything's coming up roses And daffodils Everything's coming up Sunshine and Santa Claus Everything's gotta be Bright lights and lollipops Everything's coming up roses For me and for you...

[@bojack40]

I’ve seen so many Rose’s and many live, including Tyne I’m her deservedly Tony winning performance and Pattidoing what we knew she was born to do. But of all I’ve seen on stage and screen, Imelda was the most extraordinary. She brought the real Rose to life. The bitter, cruel, mentally imbalanced woman that is underneath the surface. It was an acting job of power and committment that made the show new for me.

[@ellosborn9719]

Imelda is truly an amazing actress

[@chevydude658]

This was perfect in every way. The idiomatic Jimmy Durante style accent the belted voice well placed and supported the diction flow it was ideal. Clear without excessive mannerisms and frankly other nonsense that can often get in the way of this complex role. This was truly diamond brilliant. How could anyone ever miss the effect of Staunton's delivery? It's a home tun. Brava.
