Sondheim Sunday: All About “Rose’s Turn”
Jule Styne wrote the music and Stephen Sondheim the lyrics to Rose’s Turn from the musical Gypsy, a song often regarded as the pinnacle of the eleven o’clock number.
It has been performed by such actresses as Bette Midler, Ethel Merman, Angela Lansbury, Tyne Daly, Patti LuPone, Bernadette Peters, and Imelda Staunton and I have all their versions here.
For pure singing, Merman and LuPone are tops in my book. But for acting, LuPone reigns supreme along wit6h Daly.
What do you all think?
