Hit: 2 Stars
I saw this on broadway, Patti LuPone was an interesting Rose, she's got star quality but Rose she ain't.
I thought her only really impressive performance in the show was Rose's Turn. This was a barnstormer, she tore the place apart and really deserved the spontaneous standing ovation that she received. It's a bleak production, with hardly any set apart from a crumbling proscenium arch, the emphasis very much on the tawdry side of the last knockings of vaudeville and the sleaze of third rate burlesque. The cast recording is worth getting simply for the bonus tracks, makes you wonder why they cut them, in particular 'Smile Girls' . You Gotta Get a Gimmick is sadly
lacking in percussion , not enough bump and grind, the rest of the tracks are fine if you dont mind Patti's vocal gymnastics.
