Stage director Laurent Pelly presents a "concert hall" take on one of Broadway's greatest musicals: Gypsy, a musical fable about the fate of a mother consumed by her dream of fame. Premiered on Broadway in 1959, with a book by Arthur Laurents, Gypsy is based on the autobiographical novel by the famed striptease artist Gypsy Rose Lee, and tells the story of Rose and her two daughters traveling the U.S. performing their "vaudeville" act. Jule Styne's jazzy music and Stephen Sondheim's lyrics draw us into the madness of a woman at a turning point when "vaudeville" became modern "entertainment." The mother is played by soprano Natalie Dessay.
