About the Show

The Gallery Players present Stephen Sondheim and Jule Styne’s classic musical about backstage mama Rose and her daughter Louise, who triumphantly emerges from her mother's shadow to become a star.

The critically acclaimed story of the family of Gypsy Rose Lee, based on her 1957 memoir. Mama Rose pushes her two young daughters into performing on the vaudeville circuit. Simultaneously, she pushes everyone who loves her away. Eventually, the only gig her older daughter Louise can get is at a burlesque house, but she takes to it, transforming herself into Gypsy Rose Lee. Featuring the standards "Some People," "Let Me Entertain You," "If Momma Was Married," "Everything’s Coming Up Roses," and "You Gotta Get A Gimmick."

"The production boasts a highly talented cast and creative team and, equally important, a big collective heart...Harborth’s nuanced direction works tightly with Mittelhauser’s colorful sets and by-turns bubbly and sensitive choreography...Wickham’s sharp musical direction helps to get the most from the cast. The Gallery Players have gone all-out to give one of Broadway’s great musicals a staging just about as spectacular as one could hope for in a small theater."

"The production of 'Gypsy' at The Gallery Players is huge. It contains 31 actors, all of whom are excellent in their respective roles. Rose tried mounting many shows to make her daughters stars but the depression and the talkies were ruining vaudeville. Gypsy Rose Lee eventually ends up in a burlesque house appropriately called The Bottom. Whether you have seen a production of 'Gypsy' or not, I guarantee you will enjoy this show, which received a standing ovation from the sold-out audience."
