Description

Gypsy: A Musical Suggested by the Memoirs of Gypsy Rose Lee is a timeless musical with music by Jule Styne and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim. Based on the memoirs of burlesque stripper Gypsy Rose Lee, this iconic show tells the story of her mother's relentless drive to push her into the spotlight. The musical focuses on the complex relationship between a mother and daughter, as Rose pushes Gypsy and her sister June onto the vaudeville circuit in pursuit of stardom. The result is a rich tapestry of music, drama, and emotion, featuring songs that have become beloved standards such as 'Everything's Coming up Roses' and 'Let Me Entertain You'. First performed on Broadway in 1959, Gypsy has become one of the greatest musicals of all time, with its enduring themes and memorable characters continuing to captivate audiences today.
