About the program
The Mother of All Musicals: One of the greatest musicals of all time, Gypsy features music by Jule Styne, a book by Arthur Laurents, and lyrics that put a young Stephen Sondheim on the map. Based on the memoirs of the iconic Gypsy Rose Lee, Gypsy is the larger-than-life American story that follows the ultimate stage mom as she pushes her daughters toward stardom—whether they like it or not. With dazzling showbiz numbers, sharp humor, and an unforgettable score featuring “Everything’s Coming Up Roses” and “Let Me Entertain You,” this timeless classic is equal parts hilarious, heartbreaking, and completely showstopping.
This tour is an excellent way to enhance your understanding of the production and reflect upon the connections between visual arts and theater. Volunteer Educators will meet attendees at the welcome desk in Sculpture Hall. Groups are limited to 15 participants per educator.
