I'll hold firm to my review from last summer "out of town tryout" underwritten by at Encores!, except to say that Patti now sports a sassy red wig and I think Laura Benanti is the most amazing Louise I've ever seen.
The Encores production last summer was my first time seeing "Gypsy" on stage, so I can't compare it with any other version. But I agree with you that Laura Benanti was amazing. I was just blown away by how she transformed from a gawky teenager to a beautiful, self-confident stripper. It was also my first time seeing her, and she gave a wonderful, memorable performance.
I moved to NYC in 2004 to pursue an acting career. I find, at times, that I'm attending more shows than auditions. This blog is just my two cents' worth about the shows I see.

I think it would be Ebersole or Clark before it could ever be Prince.
