Loosely based on the memoirs of Gypsy Rose Lee, an American actress, burlesque entertainer and writer, and her relationship with her domineering mother, “Gypsy” was written by Arthur Laurents, with music by Jule Styne and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim. Lee’s mother, Mama Rose, is known as “the ultimate show business mother.” “Gypsy” follows the dreams and efforts of Rose to raise two daughters to perform onstage and casts an affectionate eye on the hardships of show business life.

Senior January Blank will play the part of Mama Rose.

The musical contains many songs that became popular standards, including “Small World,” “Everything’s Coming up Roses,” “You’ll Never Get Away from Me” and “Let Me Entertain You.”
