Let us entertain you with this iconic Broadway show turned Oscar-winning musical chronicling burlesque dancer Gypsy Rose Lee’s rise to fame.

Also starring Rosalind Russell who gives a go-for-broke performance as cinema’s ultimate stage mother. Guaranteed to make your spirits climb, GYPSY features over 13 musical numbers with lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, including “Everything’s Coming Up Roses,” and beautiful costumes from Orry-Kelly, showcased on a rich IB Technicolor print.
