"Considered by many (myself included) to be one of the greatest musicals of all time, Gypsy is a backstage story that centers on the mother of all stage mothers and the rise to stardom of legendary stripper Gypsy Rose Lee. Arizona Broadway Theatre is presenting one of the best productions of the show I've ever seen, one that is perfectly cast and solidly directed, with leads who create realistic characters and creative elements that are impressive..."   -Gil Benbrook, Talkin' Broadway (click here to read the complete review)

"...a new and appropriately brash production of composer Jules Styne and lyricist Stephen Sondheim's musical fable. It doesn't hit all of its marks, but when it does, which it does often, then ABT's GYPSY, directed by Danny Gorman from the book by Arthur Laurents, truly does clear the decks, lights the lights, and ultimately hits those theatrical heights...."  David Appleford, Broadway World (click here to read the complete review)
