"I promised my daughter we'd be a star!"

Ambitious. Obsessive. Domineering, yet sympathetic. That's Mama Rose- the most formidable character in musical theatre! The quintessential stage mother, Rose pushes timid Louise into the burlesque spotlight, where she is reborn as the notorious Gypsy Rose Lee, whose memoirs inspired the musical. Living vicariously through her daughter's success, Rose lusts for stardom of her own. This Styne-Sondheim classic considered their crowning achievement, features the unforgettable gems Everything's Coming Up Roses, Together, and Let Me Entertain You.

"The best Broadway musical ever created."
