Synopsis

Lauded as one of the greatest American Musicals of all time, GYPSY tells the story of one fiercely devoted mother’s singular destructive ambition to find fame and fortune for herself and her two daughters as they tour through the vaudeville circuit of the 1920’s and the ever evolving demands and desires of show business.

 

Based on the real memoirs of striptease legend Gypsy Rose Lee, GYPSY is a fascinating tale of greed, ambition, selfishness, showbusiness, and self-discovery. Not only hailed as the crowning achievement of 20th century ‘Book Musicals’, GYPSY features a show-stopping combination of unforgettable music and indelible characters which has helped it stay relevant and spellbinding 65 years after its Broadway debut in 1956.​
