Gypsy

2001-2002 Mainstage Season

The Story

Brassy and brash, with the best book and score of any American musical, this gem-hard look at Vaudeville in its heyday follows a ruthless, resourceful mother as she pushes her daughters along the rugged road toward stardom. The heartbreak and triumph of Gypsy Rose Lee’s transformation from child performer to burlesque queen is forever immortalized in this dazzling show.
