Synopsis

Based on the life of Gypsy Rose Lee, Gypsy was a Broadway smash for Sondheim and his West Side Story collaborator Arthur Laurents.

This is the tale of vaudeville's sad decline, and of one domineering stage mother and her inadvertant creation of a notorious burlesque stripper. Featuring such standards as "Let Me Entertain You" and "Everything's Coming Up Roses".

Gypsy was revived in London's West End in the spring of 2015, starring Oscar nominee Imelda Staunton as Mamma Rose.
