Gypsy (2015) - Some People (HD)

Loosely based on the memoirs of world-renowned striptease artist Gypsy Rose Lee, Gypsy follows the journey of the irrepressible Rose (Imelda Staunton, Vera Drake), the mother to end all stage mothers, as she balances the challenges of parenthood with the joys and heartbreaks of a life in the world of show business.

She is such a consumate Sondheim performer--she makes sure to act the part instead of just singing or performing it. Fabulous!

[eviesmail]

I can’t stop watching her She has outshined all my favorites No one has ever given this much heart into this role Maybe groeinhbuoneith working class people Knowing the desperation of growing old and never seeing yiur dreams fulfilled

[singediabolique]

Who knew Dolores Umbrage could sing???

[madamegucci]

The lady is TALENTED!!! WOW!!! One of the best Rose I've KUDOS!!

[cutsieproductions]

So THATS what Umbrige did after Hogwarts!

[eddie]

And this is how Kurt Hummel and Dolores Umbridge become friends...Good! Imelda Staunton is always gonna be such a great actress <3

[userable]

Her attempt at an American accent is way better than Patti LuPone’s attempt at an English accent. (I love Patti, honestly, but her accent in Sweeney Todd is - not great. Her belting is fantastic though, as always!)

[JLDrones]

Really annoyed that America gets a blu-ray release of this and the UK merely get DVD. Disgrace.

[JimMac]

She was great. She really deserved that Olivier Award for her performance.

[waynetbrown]

Saw this at Chichester and it was just so perfect!

[peteradaniel]

All those comparing her to Midler, Lupone and Merman are completely wrong to do so. She takes a completely different approach to mamma Rose. Something more manipulative and subtle.

[scottmiller]

Terrific performance, Ethel Merman would be very proud of this outstanding

[Ianey]

Why is it in these recordings it sounds as if they've cut the guts out of the orchestra?

[Ophiechu]

Some people can get a thrill
Knitting sweaters and sitting still
That's okay for some people
Who don't know they're alive
Some people can thrive and bloom
Living life in the living room
That's perfect for some people
Of one hundred and five
But I at least gotta try
When I think of all the sights that I gotta see
And all the places I gotta play
All the things that I gotta be at
Come on papa, what do you say?
Some people can be content
Playing bingo and paying rent
That's peachy for some people
For some hum-drum people to be
But some people ain't me

Some people can get a thrill
knitting sweaters and sitting still.
That's okay for some people
who don't know they're alive.
Some people can thrive and bloom
living life in the living room.
That's perfect for some people
of one hundred and five.
But I at least gotta try
when I think of all the sights that I gotta see
and all the places I gotta play,
all the things that I gotta be at.
Come on, papa, what do you say?
Some people can be content
playing bingo and paying rent.
That's peachy for some people,
for some hum-drum people to be,
but some people ain't me!
I had a dream,
a wonderful dream, papa,
all about June in the Orpheum circuit.
Gimme a chance and I know I can work it.
I had a dream.
Just as real as can be, papa.
There I was in Mr. Orpheum's office
and he was saying to me, "Rose,
get yourselves some new orchestrations,
new routines and red velvet curtains.
Get a feathered hat for the baby;
photographs in front of the theatre.
Get an agent and in jig time
you'll be being booked in the big time."
Oh, what a dream.
A wonderful dream, papa.
And all that I need is eighty-eight bucks, papa.
That's what he said, papa.
Only eighty-eight bucks.
Papa
You ain't gettin' eighty-eight cents from me, Rose.
Rose
Well, I'll get it someplace else! But I'll get it! And get my kids out!
Goodbye to blueberry pie.
Good riddance to all the socials I had to go to,
all the lodges I had to play,
all the shriners I said hello to.
Hey, L.A., I'm comin' your way!
Some people sit on their butts;
got the dream, yeah, but not the guts.
That's living for some people,
for some hum-drum people I suppose.
Well, they can stay and rot!
But not Rose!

[Insert_channel_here]

Can I get a video of Imelda without at least *one* Harry Potter reference-

[collinkilloran]

I knew I recognized her from somewhere, hey Umbridge

[miz_logo_lee]

She looks a lot like the real life Rose, including being very slight of build.

[buckmeister]

This “Rose” does NOT like blueberry pie!

[miccityson]

It's really good but I can't stand how slow it is! I have to watch/listen at 1.25 speed
