The 1989 Gypsy ran eight and a half months with Tyne Daly, after a long pre-Broadway tour. Linda Lavin took over on July 30, 1990. It closed on January 6, 1991. There was talk that Daly might come back, but that could not be before late February or some time in March.
It was instead decided that Daly and an American company would go to London. But then the Gulf War happened, and that was postponed. Instead the company that was supposed to go to London re-opened on April 18, 1991. The production never went to London.
Box office did go down a good deal during Lavin's run. |
