She died at age 97 in 2010 at her home in Stamford, Connecticut. June Havoc lived far longer than both her equally famous sister and mother. Her relationships with both her mother and her actress sister were only lukewarm at best, with a clearly competitive element about both sisters who shared entertainment careers. Gypsy Rose Lee died at age 59 of cancer in 1970. Tickets for Marriott Theatre’s run of “Gypsy” start at $55 by calling 84 or at.

In real life, a series of arrests for “indecent exposure” because of her signature show biz stage striptease while touring in the 1940s brought the real Gypsy Rose Lee immense publicity, along with newspaper interviews and promotion from coast to coast. For the 1962 film version of “Gypsy,” it was Rosalind Russell as Mama Rose and Gary native Karl Malden cast as Herbie on the big screen.įor this latest telling by Marriott Theatre, Lauren Maria Medina is both gentle and memorable as “Louise,” who adopts the future stage name of Gypsy Rose Lee, and Tori Heinlein is her equal talent and stage contrast as sister June. When “Gypsy” opened on Broadway in 1959, it was Ethel Merman behind the booming and bellowing pipes of Mama Rose. In general, it is a good idea for a Sunday meal out, but will be perfect once they iron out the above creases.This expansive “Gypsy” cast is led by Broadway stars Lucia Spina as Mama Rose and Nathaniel Stampley as talent agent-turned candy bar salesman-turned talent agent Herbie.

However, all of our potatoes were oversalted and effected the enjoyment of the meal.

The Yorkshire puddings were light and crispy, and there was a lovely star anise note to the red cabbage. However, my beef roast was not medium as advised on ordering, but well done and had dried out – and also had lots of sinew running through parts of the three slices I got. The pork belly and the chicken were cooked well, though the chicken was slightly overseasoned. The offer comes with options of white (cabernet sauvignon) or red (grenache) – which were crisp and citrusy, and mellow respectively. We had chosen a selection to be able to feedback on the beef, pork belly roast, and roast chicken options. Our parents were impressed with the literary references, decorations and general ambiance.ĭavid, the Head Bartender at The Fable, welcomed us and treated us to his favourite cocktail of Vodka & White Wine – decorated with a red grape – whilst we waited for our roasts.

We went to check out their new Toast to the Roast (£10) offering available at The Fable and all other Drake & Morgan establishments. Loved the little touches of clay pots over the bar area, suspended floral shaped metal chandeliers and lightbulbs, and a bathtub with extracts above! There was a well crafted sofa area surrounded by books. Whilst enjoying the canapes (ceviche, mini fish & chips, jacket new potatoes with sour cream, skin-on potato and sweet potato wedges, hot dogs, scallops with mash on a pastry spoon, and mini cottage pies) accompanied by glasses of prosecco, we enjoyed our beautifully created surroundings. Rob (Executive Head Chef) expertly filleted, pin-boned and created beautiful plates of ceviche, with the perfect balance of citrus but not overpowering the flavours of the fish. The Fable is named after Aesop's fairytales, and as such there are books and open pages decorating all three floors. The location is wonderful as you approach The Fable, from Chancery Lane direction, you pass over the Holborn Viaduct which has a spectacular view over the city. This is the newest addition to the Drake & Morgan family.
