From Ravinia to Broadway, Patti LuPone shines in 'Gypsy'

chicagotribune.com: "Rose, they say in 'Gypsy,' is a pioneer woman without a frontier. And while the manicured Illinois lawns of the Ravinia Festival don't exactly call to mind covered wagons, that verdant Midwestern venue still seeded a primal Broadway performance now delivered on the Great White Way with incomparable courage, passion and guts."

I was really surprised that they chose to revive Gypsy this soon- it seems like just yesterday that Bernadette Peters was starring in it. The article explains that by saying that Patti LuPone was due her turn, and I can understand that, but I think that this version is only going to appeal to the hardcore Broadway geeks and the Patti LuPone fans.
