Gypsy

By Book by Arthur Laurents, Music by Jule Styne, Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim

Directed by Adam Steffan

What do Ethel Merman, Bernadette Peters, and Tyne Daly have in common? All have played the brassy, bossy Mama Rose in New York productions of Gypsy. Loosely based on the memoirs of striptease artist Gypsy Rose Lee, this musical focuses on Rose, the driving force behind her daughters (June, Havoc, and Louise). When Rose pushes the teenage Louise into service as a last minute replacement for a second class club’s lead stripper, Louise discovers her way to fortune and fame, eventually becoming Gypsy Rose Lee and one of Minsky’s biggest stars.
