If you are looking for a musical that allows your cast to exercise their acting skills to the fullest and to sing one of Broadway’s greatest scores, you need look no further than GYPSY.


Leave your audience in wonderment at the magic of musical theatre!

Here’s what the critics are saying about GYPSY:

The Book
 

"The overwhelming credit must go to Arthur Laurents’ book. Suggested by (but not based on) ‘The Memoirs of Gypsy Rose Lee,’ it’s possibly the best book ever for a Broadway musical." - Clive Barnes, New York Post

"Laurents also wrote the book for the show, which is based on Lee’s memoirs. And what’s particularly exciting about this revival is the care with which those book scenes are played. Rarely, in musicals, do you see people of such depth and complexity.‘Gypsy’ may be emotional but it is not sentimental. Laurents laces the tale with humor and heart, most emphatically in the blossoming of Louise, whose ugly duckling transformation into a young woman of assurance is beautifully handled by Laura Benanti." - Michael Kuchwara, Associated Press





The Score
 

"In Rose’s two great curtain numbers, ‘Everything’s Coming Up Roses’ and ‘Rose’s Turn,’ the darkness takes over so completely that you feel that you’re watching a woman who has been peeled down to her unadorned id. In ‘Rose’s Turn,’ in particular, Ms. LuPone takes you on a guided tour of all Rose’s inner demons..." -Ben Brantley, The New York Times

"'Gypsy' - with its wrenching and brilliant lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and its brassy-bravura music by Jule Styne - belongs on Broadway for as long as people need musicals." - Linda Winer, Newsday


"Musical theater lovers can no doubt sing every song from Jule Styne and Stephen Sondheim’s brilliant musical score by memory. Such numbers as 'Some People,' 'Small World,' 'All I Need Is The Girl,' 'Rose’s Turn' and of course 'Everything’s Coming Up Roses' are indelible." - Frank Scheck, Reuters

"The songs, with lyrics by Mr. Sondheim and music by Jule Styne, are classics one and all..." - Terry Teachout, The Wall Street Journal

"Styne’s score, one of the best for any show ever..." - Ben Brantley, The New York Times

The Show
 

"Mr. Laurents and his cast have applied the same careful analysis to all the major characters. As a result we become newly sensitized to "Gypsy" as a sad story of colliding desires, of people within an extended family vainly longing for love, for security, for recognition from one another. And this production makes us painfully aware of the toll exacted by repeatedly missed connections." - Ben Brantley, The New York Times

"... Mama Rose, arguably the greatest musical-female role in probably the most satisfying backstage musical of American theater’s golden age." - Linda Winer, Newsday

"This revival circles around a distinctively American theme: the desire for a better, more glamorous future, complete with autograph hounds and nightly standing ovations. The production floats with the surreal swiftness of a dream in which sighs turn instantly to showstoppers." - Charles McNulty, Los Angeles Times

"Absolute perfection may not be within human grasp; but story, lyrics and music... fuse into a more than reasonable facsimile." - John Simon, Bloomberg

"From its pulse-racing overture to its knockout finale, ‘Gypsy’ is one of those great, glorious musicals that can be enjoyed repeatedly thanks to its tremendous score, compelling showbiz story and splendid opportunities for front-rank artists to strut their stuff." - Michael Sommers, The Star-Ledger

"Rose is one of the great parental monsters, a figure whose epically misguided love makes her kin to King Lear and Mother Courage. Not that these comparisons are earned by Laurents’ dramatic treatment alone. But when you add the sweeping theatricality of Stephen Sondheim’s lyrics and Jule Styne’s music - one of those proverbial desert island scores that could leave a castaway in utter bliss - the very heartbeat of the protagonist can be heard racing." - Charles McNulty, Los Angeles Times


"The show itself is a miracle, one of the top contenders for the title of Best Musical Ever." - Terry Teachout, The Wall Street Journal
