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.
