YOU EITHER GOT IT
OR YOU AINT
AND BOYS I GOT IT!
Gypsy is such a good musical, telling the tale of a probably bipolar woman who could never get into show business shove her children into show business. I just don't like how they tacked on the happy ending, it didn't need it. But I guess 1959 audiences weren't about to be happy with a sad ending.
