The Mother of All Musicals!
Regarded by many theatre professionals as the finest musical ever created, Gypsy is the ultimate tale of an ambitious stage mother fighting for her daughters’ success – while secretly yearning for her own. Set all across America in the 1920s and 30s, 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.”
Show Details:This performance is suitable for ages 10 and up. The show runs approximately 3 hours with one 15-minute intermission.
A NOTE ON THE TERM 'GYPSY'
NCT acknowledges that the term ‘gypsy’ has been used as a racial slur against the Roma people for centuries, and often co-opted as a term to describe a nomadic or “free- spirited” lifestyle or a bohemian/folk-influenced “aesthetic”, reinforcing long-standing stereotypes of the Romani and ignoring their nuanced history. While we cannot avoid using the word as the title of this show, and as the name of a character within, we- and anyone involved with this show- will not use it to describe any person, race, or culture. We understand this word carries historical and cultural significance, and commit to ensuring its use is limited exclusively to the context of the characters within this show.
