People behind the production
Gypsy - The Musical is a foundational piece of American Broadway myth-making, weaving the rise of star-making mother Rose and her daughters into a brilliant score by Jule Styne with lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and a book by Arthur Laurents. Based on Gypsy Rose Lee's memoir Gypsy: A Memoir, the show charts ambition, motherhood, and show business with wit and heart. The original Broadway production opened in 1959 at The Broadway Theatre, headlined by Ethel Merman, and remains a landmark in musical theatre history.
