    		BP would be Bernadette Peters.

    The role of Mama Rose in Gypsy is regarded as the pinnacle of all diva roles in musical theatre, as seen by its frequent revivals with big name stars (some perhaps more deserving than others), a reputation that began with its original cast and the legendary Ethel Merman. However, in the most recent revival Arthur Laurents, book writer and previous director of the show, praised Bernadette Peters "as the best" Rose yet, bringing to the role a poignant "sense of vulnerability."

    Who fathered Gypsy Rose Lee's son Erik?

    I am going to give you two nouns. The first word I give you is "Illyria". Illyria is a place of minsinterpreted love and occasional comedy. The next word I give you is "rose". A rose is often depicted as beautiful and becoming, though the thorns they bear are sharp and harmful. And, of course, no matter what you call a rose, it will still smell the same. The bond between these two nouns is that William Shakespeare chose to write about it. Can you tell me one play that features Illyria, a made up place, and another that has a short line of how a rose is sweet, no matter what the name?

    What is the longest that a cut long stemmed red rose can be expected to stay fresh? What variety of rose and storage conditions are most likely to achieve this?
