The Mother of All Musicals! Regarded by many as the finest musical ever created, Gypsy is the ultimate tale of an ambitious stage mother fighting for her daughters’ success – while secretly yearning for her own. Suggested by the memoirs of Gypsy Rose Lee, set all across America in the 1920s and 30s, when vaudeville was dying and burlesque was born. This landmark show explores the world of two-bit show business with brass, humor, heart, and sophistication. The celebrated score by Jule Styne and Stephen Sondheim boasts one glorious hit after another, including “Everything’s Coming Up Roses,” “Let Me Entertain You,” “Some People,” and “You Gotta Get A Gimmick.” Gypsy is a thrilling exploration of ambition, family, and the pursuit of fame.
“I’ve always had only one choice in the category of favorite musical. It is Gypsy.” – (Frank Rich, The New York Times)
