Gypsy is a beloved Broadway production that tells the story of Rose, a determined mother in show business who travels across the country with her daughters Baby June and Louise in pursuit of success with their vaudeville performances. As the entertainment industry evolves, Rose must come to terms with the decline of vaudeville and the emergence of burlesque, as well as her daughters' desire for independence.
The show, which was inspired by the memoirs of Gypsy Rose Lee, features a book by Arthur Laurents, music by Jule Styne, and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim. Its songs have become iconic within the industry, helping to launch Sondheim's career. Among the musical highlights are "Everything's Coming Up Roses," "Some People," "Let Me Entertain You," "Together, Wherever We Go," and the unforgettable "Rose's Turn."
