    • Trivia
      Linda Hart, who plays Mazeppa, was once one of Bette Midler's "Harlettes."
    • Goofs
      When Mama Rose interrupts the first audition and is talking to Uncle Jocko, the dog she is carrying switches arms between shots.
    • Quotes

      Gypsy: Some men have called me an ecdysiast. Do you know what that means? An ecdysiast is one who, or that which, sheds it's skin. In vulgar parlance, a stripper. But I'm not a stripper. At these prices, I'm an ecdysiast!

    The best there is to see
    Really, I must say that this is better than the 1962 screen production with Natlie Wood. And the role of Gypsy had humor in her acts. Also, the language was less restrained, making the movie seem very real. Midler can do so much with this. She had the emotion, she had the ongoing talent to switch gears to being Rose with all her best.
