Gypsy

We were busy chaps today. This evening we got to see Gypsy. It had five people in the pit. And loud recorded music. I wondered why they bother with the few musicians to add a little bit of music to the recording. Jerry explained that it's like a Thomas Kinkade painting. You know, like a picture with authentic, hand-applied highlights!

They had a good Mama Rose. But the reverb they added to "Rose's Turn" was kind of annoying. Otherwise she did a pretty good job of the scene.

Except for the tiny pit group it was a good little production. The Junes, Louises and girls with gimmicks where quite good.

It's nice to be able to see shows like this right here in Escondido. But the shortage of musicians makes me pine for bigger productions.
