Broadway
Gypsy - Broadway 1959
Master - Press Reel
FORMAT: VOB(with smalls)
CAST:
Ethel Merman (Rose), Sandra Church (Louise)
NOTES:
12 minutes of silent black and white press footage of a photoshoot rehearsal (perhaps the first), in the rehearsal studio on the roof of the New Amsterdam Theatre. As musical accompaniment, a rehearsal recording of Ethel Merman singing the score (with early/alternate lyrics) with a piano has been added. The stars of the original cast are seen, along with Arthur Laurents, Jule Styne, Stephen Sondheim and Jerome Robbins, and Gypsy Rose Lee herself, who makes an appearance. This is followed by 60-90 seconds (depending on the source) of silent colour footage of a performance. Two versions circulate of this: one (screenshots 7-8) is of unknown origins, while the other (screenshots 5-6) is the famous Ray Knight film, although in poor video quality. The first colour footage is on the Broadway Home Movies #2 DVD, while the second is on the GYPSY 1973 DVD.
Comes with 1974 press reels

FORMAT: VOB(with smalls)
CAST:

NOTES:
Surprisingly steady and clear for a 1991 video. This seems to have been after the transfer to the Marquis Theatre, making it sometime between its opening night at the Marquis on April 18, 1991 and its closing night on July 28, 1991.
