WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Two-time Tony Award-winner Bernadette Peters stars as Rose in the eagerly awaited revival of Gypsy, the quintessential Broadway musical, directed by Academy Award-winner Sam Mendes. The musical is suggested by the memoirs of Gypsy Rose Lee, and features music by Jule
Styne, lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and book by Arthur Laurents. Set during the vaudeville era, the musical follows relentless stage mother Rose (Peters) across the country with her two daughters, June (Kate Reinders) and Louise (Tammy Blanchard), and their manager, Herbie. Rose pursues dreams of stardom for her girls, first focusing on June and then shy Louise when June runs away. When the act is booked into a burlesque house by mistake, Louise is forced into the spotlight and Gypsy Rose Lee is born.

"If you have a good, strong finish, they'll forgive you for anything," Rose Hovick tells a gaggle of ungifted girls in the second act of the dynamic Arthur Laurents-Stephen Sondheim-Jule Styne musical Gypsy. It's a show-biz bromide very much taken to heart by Sam Mendes, who has directed a perfectly adequate revival of the great 1959 musical that made Ethel Merman a bigger entertainment legend than she already was.
Bernadette Peters, as the stage Momma to end all stage Mommas, is clearly another advocate of the performance philosophy she cheerfully relays. Proving vociferous pre-opening naysayers very wrong, she gives patrons not one strong finish but two. For the first act finale, she t[...]
