Have an Eggroll Patti LuPone!

Tonight I’m going to see Gypsy on Broadway starring the Patti LuPone and I’m so excited! I just saw the Encores! version at City Center in July with the exact same cast, and it is supposedly much better now on the St. James stage. Maybe a few of you remember when I wrote about the opening night party for the show last week. Well today I was listening to the cast recording of the last Broadway performance of Gypsy starring Bernadette Peters as Momma Rose today prepping for the show when the song “Mr. Goldstone, I Love You” came on I remembered Boyd Gaines (who plays Herbie in the current version)’s opening night gift to Patti that she showcased at the party. It was a purse in the shape of a Chinese takeout box for all the Chinese food Momma Rose and her brood eat in the show! Brilliant! That Boyd Gaines is so thoughtful! Here’s a pic of her at the party carrying the cute little memento!
