GYPSY is showing now through December 18 at Garden Grove’s historic GEM THEATRE presented by the award-winning One More Productions – one of Southern California’s leading musical theater companies.
Regarded by many theatre professionals as the finest musical ever created, GYPSY is the ultimate tale of an ambitious stage mother fighting for her daughter’s success- while secretly yearning for her own. Set across America in the 1920s and 1930s when vaudeville was dying and burlesque was born, Arthur Laurents’ landmark show explores the world of two-bit show business with brass, humor, heart, and sophistication.
The celebrated score by Jule Styne and Stephen Sondheim boasts one glorious hit after another, including: “Everything’s Coming Up Roses,” “Let Me Entertain You,” “Some People,” “You’ll Never Get Away from Me,” “If Momma was Married,” “All I Need is the Girl,” “You Gotta Get a Gimmick,” “Small World,” and “Together Wherever We Go.”
GYPSY is directed by Damien Lorton. The book is by Arthur Laurents.
