Gypsy (2015)
Directed by Lonny Price, Jonathan Kent
Overview
One of Broadway’s biggest smashes comes to life in 2015’s stunning West End production of Arthur Laurents, Jule Styne, and Stephen Sondheim’s eternally appealing musical, Gypsy. Loosely based on the memoirs of world-renowned striptease artist Gypsy Rose Lee, Gypsy follows the journey of the irrepressible Rose (Imelda Staunton, Vera Drake), the mother to end all stage mothers, as she balances the challenges of parenthood with the joys and heartbreaks of a life in the world of show business. Featuring a collection of songs that have grown to become American standards, including “Together (Wherever We Go),” “Some People,” “Let Me Entertain You,” and “Everything’s Comin’ Up Roses,” Gypsy is a true treasure of musical theatre… you’ll have a real good time, yes sir!
