New York City
TheatreWorks opens its new season with the quintessential American musical Gypsy. The rim-shot razzle and show-biz dazzle of 1920s vaudeville creates the glittering backdrop of this production. Its memorable, hit-laden score propels Mama Rose and her two young daughters across a sequined theatrical landscape, caught in an irrepressible stage mother’s desperate dream of stardom. In a sensational mother-daughter finale, only one survives to strut the footlights as Gypsy Rose Lee, the captivating queen of burlesque.
