Gypsy is based on the memoirs of Gypsy Rose Lee, a famous burlesque stripper. The musical focuses on her overbearing mother, Rose, the quintessential stage mother, as she pushes Gypsy (then known as Louise) and her sister June into life on the vaudeville circuit, forever trying to break into the big time.
Stephen Sondheim's Iyrics--composed in advance of Jule Styne's infectious music--provide a tight structure and natural language to the 1959 score. This musical, which produced more than its share of Broadway standards,
including "Everything's Coming Up Roses," "Small World," "Some People," "If Momma Was Married," "Together Wherever We Go," and the climactic "Rose's Turn."
Gypsy is presented by Special Arrangement with Tams-Witmark Music Library, Inc.
