Gypsy
Music by Jule Styne
Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim
Book by Arthur Laurents
Low-priced Previews Jul 14 - Jul 22, 2016
Indomitable stage mother Rose chases vicarious success and stardom as she pushes her daughters through the vaudeville circuit. When Dainty June flees the act to elope, Rose vows to make introverted Louise into a star. Boasting one show-stopping song after another – like “Everything’s Coming Up Roses” and “Let Me Entertain You” – this classic musical was inspired by memoirs of the legendary burlesque dancer Gypsy Rose Lee.
