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.
