Gypsy: A Musical Fable

Gypsy tells the story of the “ultimate stage mother” Rose and her

dream to raise her daughters to perform on the vaudeville stage. Mama

Rose has become arguably the greatest female role in musical theatre

due to its emotion, complexity and powerful songs. Starring Tony and

Emmy Award winning actress, Leslie Uggams, and filled with an

incredible score by Jule Styne and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, musical

theatre lovers will be enthralled by the songs “Some People,” “Rose’s

Turn,” “Let Me Entertain You” and, of course, “Everything’s Coming up

Roses.” It is no wonder that Gypsy has been called “one of the top

contenders for the title of Best Musical Ever” by Terry Teachout in The

Wall Street Journal.
