Customer Review: My husband surprised me with tickets to see Patti LuPone in Gypsy for my birthday. It was a wonderful night of musical theater.

What he neglects to point out is the following criticism from The New York Times' review by John Steele Gordon: " If there is anything missing from this collection, it is... more info
