Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim
Suggested by the memoirs of Gypsy Rose Lee
Speculated by many to be the greatest of all American musicals, Gypsy tells the story of the dreams and efforts of one hungry, powerhouse of a woman to get her two daughters into show business. Determined that her younger daughter June will have a successful career, Mama Rose’s plans are derailed when June elopes, forcing Rose to turn all her attention on her older, less talented daughter, Loise, who eventually becomes burlesque stripper Gypsy Rose Lee. The musical features songs that have become standards of the musical theatre canon including Some People, Let Me Entertain You, Rose’s Turn, and the show-stopping Everything’s Coming Up Roses. At the heart of the musical is the gregarious Mama Rose, whose journey made critic Frank Rich call Gypsy “Broadway’s own brassy, unlikely answer to King Lear.”
