Not only hailed as the crowning achievement of 20th century ‘Book Musicals’, Gypsy features lasting and memorable numbers such as “Let Me Entertain You”, “Together, Wherever We Go”, and “All I Need Is The Girl” as well as indomitable broadway powerhouse numbers like “Everything’s Coming Up Roses” and “Rose’s Turn”. It is exactly this combination of unforgettable music and indelible characters which has helped Gypsy stay relevant and spellbinding 65 years after its Broadway debut in 1956.
