"Rose's Turn" ~ Patti LuPone (GYPSY꞉ Broadway, 2008)

[@fountainchain126]

Patti was terrifying in this part. Her Everything’s Coming Up Roses is the most disturbing interpretation I’ve ever seen, and here in Rose’s Turn we truly see a psychotic breakdown before our eyes. She earned every best actress award that season on Broadway, each one so deserved.

@@fountainchain126 I meant to say did it where she had the mental breakdown part of roses turn it’s genuinely terrifying if you find it on KZbin.

[@jlasf]

@@ACinemafanatic Saw Patti live. Saw video of Angela. Respectfully disagree. Patti goes deeper emotionally and seems truly psychotic. A lacerating performance. And, in some ways, accurate. According to stories, Rose Hovick wasn't just a "stage mother", she was deeply disturbed and may have killed a woman. At any rate, I am sparing with standing ovations, but leapt to my feet for this performance. I don't know how actors throw themselves into roles like this night after night.

[@ACinemafanatic]

@@jlasf I see what you’re saying but Angela’s approach first did it where rose seems like she’s snapped for a bit with her bowing like there’s an audience cheering for her and she’s smiling almost psychotically and then Patti I think really went more deranged with it a bit darker as well with her portrayal

I’m sure if she had noticed it she would have stopped the show and really ripped into the person taking video. I think she’s done that more than once.

[@WillowTitov]

Patti still gives a fresh take on her roles, even after decades. Moreover, she's truly splendid for sparing the life of the bootlegger during the time of this filming. I only hope she was quick and merciful with their demise thereafter.

[@MsCchapman]

Having worked on Bway for many years and met the legend that is Patti Lupone … yes she is an alien in that she is otherworldly in her capacity to strike equal parts of complete fear and utter joy with every performance. She is a stellar star. Period.

[@savechuu]

the cameraman is a national hero🫡

[@73682]

omg chuu im such a big fan

[@wickedlyblonde1]

Wow it’s really a different performance every night huh. How thrilling.

[@scswp6945]

Yes, I think it really was. I saw Patti in this twice - a matinee and an evening performance on the same day (I know - mad!) and her evening performance of this was very different to the way she had performed it a few hours earlier. I thought it was quite strange at the time (and still do, I think). In London, I saw Imelda Staunton in the role three times and her performance seemed completely identical each time - exactly the same intonations, gestures etc… Staunton’s performance was my favourite, but it seemed identical each time. Patti’s performances were quite different on the day I saw them.

[@SymphonyBrahms]

@@scswp6945 LuPone was great and so was Staunton.

[@sarajelas8902]

I genuinely forgot there's a pause in the performance and thought the person filming it was about to get the verbal ass whooping of the century from miss Patti 😅

[@robertgraziano]

You dare not even blink when Patti Lupone is performing!

[@AtsukoPianoVideos]

I love this take on Rose. So aggresive as it feels this is how it was intended, more than just the mourning of what it could have been. I saw the spanish version directed by Antonio Banderas and this is exactly how this song was played by the singer 🤩

[@LayRoyalty]

Crazy Patti Lupone and Bette Midler both played this and both are iconic disney witches

[@princepeterwolf]

I don't know how can anyone watch this and not love musical theater, that was incredible she was born to play this role

[@mvalbiro8860]

I saw this production so many times back then that I actually lost count. Gypsy is a great show but there will NEVER be another production like this one everrrrrrr!

[@jlasf]

I saw the show and I got the feeling she was playing everything that came before at a level 7 intensity. We know she can blast it whenever she wants. So, I was a bit surprised so much seemed a bit muted. But then I realized she was saving it up for the end. She turned its up to 11, as they say in "Spinal Tap."

This number always reminds me of Garland for some reason I always wonder if Judy Garland had been born into an era where her talent had been better looked after maybe in her 40s/50s she could have done Mama Rose I think she would have been incredible No disrespect to LaPone who is clearly a genius that's been established

Rosalind Russell was dubbed in the film because she couldn't sing. Plus she overacted terribly.

[@dennrb6640MK]

I remember seeing this on Broadway and was not impressed with her performance. Too much yelling and shouting, really over the top. Ethel was the definitive Rose, and Angela did a impressive job as well. Saw Patty in Anything Goes, she was great in that.

[@SymphonyBrahms]

Ethel, Angela, and Patti were all good in the role. So was Imelda Staunton.

[@CarlosSantos-nk9wu]

I agree.

[@BroadwayGuy]

Does anyone else think Patti is not really playing Mama Rose by this point? It's more...DIVA LA LUPONE....WATCH ME!! It's overblown... exageratated. Okay, LA LUPONE IS LA LUPONE, but I'm not particularly impressed. Angela Lansbury, Tyne Daly, and even Bernadette Peters, had more subtlety and humanity in the role. Betty Buckley (Paper Mill Playhouse: 1998) was an exploding volcano. Okay, LA LUPONE-- it's YOUR turn-- but she just seems to be showing off and screaming here (just my opinion).

[@FlimFlamFloom]

You never saw this live. You're judging this on a video. Sit down.

[@followtibbs]

thank you! somebody finally said it cause I wasn’t brave enough to… i get what she’s doing but it doesn’t t hit for me! It’s the very end of the show and defines her whole performance. I would’ve been disappointed seeing this live.

@@marybethkuznik6118 I Agree.

[@SymphonyBrahms]

Every performer brings their own interpretation to the role of Madame Rose. Merman created it and it was a powerhouse performance. Lansbury gave a performance that was a masterclass in acting. Daly also acted the role brilliantly. LuPone brought forth the desperation and manic energy of the role. Staunton was another masterclass in acting. As for Peters, I will draw the curtain of charity over her performance. She just wasn't right for the role. I like her in almost everything else that she's done, but not in Gypsy. And not as Dolly. Just not right for her.

[@Towerwargam]

@@SymphonyBrahmsi do agree… also in the peters fact, her voice was to little for the role, she needs more fierce or power I guess.

The "you wanna know why I did it? Because I was born too soon and started too late" part felt so unconvincing, so...devoid of life.
