Gypsy

Last week we did a mother/daughter trip into NYC to see Gypsy with Patti Lupone and Laura Benanti. Benanti is from our little town of Kinnelon so everyone was looking forward to seeing her but alas she was ill last week. Her understudy was excellent, but we wanted Benanti!

Patti Lupone was AWESOME. I had seen Gypsy 18 years ago with Tyne Daly in the lead - also good, but Lupone ends the play on such an unforgettable note! You will see from the photos that my daughter didn't come. So I was doing the mother/son thing. I was happy to have Bryan join me.

It was a beautiful spring day in the city so we got in early and walked around before dinner (at Sarafina's) and the play. There were two more mom/daughters with us but they arrived after these photos were taken.
