Gypsy

Town and Country Players
Buckingham, PA


Based on the memoirs of famed burlesque stripper, Gypsy Rose Lee, Gypsy tells the story of Rose, the archetypical stage mother who pushes her daughters June and Louise ("Sing out, Louise!") into vaudeville. Along the way, Rose meets a theatrical agent, Herbie, who agrees to manage daughter June's act. Herbie would like nothing better than to settle down with Rose but for now must settle for Rose's repeated promises of marriage someday. When June eventually rebels against her mother and elopes with a dancer, Rose turns her considerable attention to her older and less talented daughter, Louise. Herbie accidentally books Louise's act into a burlesque house. When one of the strippers is arrested, Rose pushes Louise into the stripper's act, prompting Herbie to leave once and for all. However, Louise (now named Gypsy Rose Lee) is a mega-hit with audiences and eventually becomes the world's most famous stripper. With her increase in stature comes an increase in self-confidence, and she rejects her mother's overtures. Rose, utterly alone, pours her misery out on stage. She and Gypsy finally reconcile.

Famous songs from the show include "Together Wherever We Go," "If Momma Was Married," "You Gotta Get a Gimmick," and the blockbuster hits "Let Me Entertain You" and "Everything's Coming Up Roses."
