DIVA TALK: Buckley Takes on Rose, and Lacey Is Rainbow High
BETTY BUCKLEY
The diva news of the week would have to be Betty Buckley's decision to star as Mama Rose in the upcoming production of Gypsy at the Paper Mill Playhouse. It was touch-and-go for a while as contracts were being negotiated, but now that Buckley has signed, theatre lovers have good reason to rejoice: It should be a thrilling experience to watch Buckley portray one of the most demanding roles in the musical theatre canon. The Tony winner will also get the chance to wrap her voice around such Jule Styne/Stephen Sondheim/classics as "Some People," "You'll Never Get Away from Me," "Small World," "Everything's Coming Up Roses," "Wherever We Go" and, of course, "Rose's Turn."
