Widely hailed as one of the greatest musicals of all time, Gypsy is a dazzling triumph of storytelling and song—crafted by three of Broadway’s most iconic talents with music by Jule Styne, lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, and book by Arthur Laurents. Inspired by the memoirs of burlesque star Gypsy Rose Lee, Gypsy tells the unforgettable story of ultimate stage mother Rose, as she chases fame for her daughters across the fading vaudeville circuit. Its bold exploration of ambition, identity, and sacrifice has captivated generations with memorable tunes like “Let Me Entertain You,” “You Gotta Get a Gimmick,” and, of course, “Everything’s Coming Up Roses!”
