One of the greatest musicals of all time, Gypsy is based on the true life memoirs of legendary burlesque entertainer, Gypsy Rose Lee, and celebrates both sides of the sparkling, yet shadowy world of show business.

It tells the tale of Momma Rose and her two daughters, Baby June and Louise, trekking across America with their family vaudeville act. But times are changing, audiences are expecting more, and the two girls have their own ambitions in mind. When June elopes, Rose turns her hopes and attentions to her elder, less obviously talented, daughter Louise. The rise of burlesque is upon them and nothing will ever be the same again for Momma Rose.

With lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, book by Arthur Laurents and music by Jule Styne, ‘Gypsy’ features songs that have since become show standards - famously helping to launch Sondheim’s career - including “Everything’s Coming Up Roses”, “Some People”, “Let Me Entertain You” and of course “Rose’s Turn”.
