For some reason I didn't go to see the Tyne Daly production of Gypsy. After hearing this recording I'm truly sorry that I missed it, for Daly's performance as Rose is simply first rate.

Gypsy: A Musical -- The complete libretto (or book) of the musical
It's worth reading the Arthur Laurents libretto for Gypsy if only to savor his witty stage directions. E.g., at the end of the opening scene:
([Rose] is singing along with her girls when she sees the Balloon Girl, who has edged out from the wings. Still singing gaily, Rose removes her hatpin. The Balloon Girl backs into the wings as Rose marches after her, the hatpin extended like Joan of Arc's sword. Her dancing daughters watch, grin, and finish to a blare of music.)
