GYPSY comes alive exploring the dreams and effors of one hungry powerhouse, Mama Rose, to get her daughters into show business.
Rose is the quintessential "stage mother" and her drive to find success for her girls is both hilarious and harrowing. Based on the memoirs of Gypsy Rose Lee, a burlesque dancer, it is considered one of the greatest American musicals of all time.
Featuring the delightful and familiar melodies of "Let Me Entertain You," "Together, Wherever We Go," and the show-stopper "Everything Is Coming Up Roses," GYPSY is sure to fill the hearts and souls of all who dream.
