Event Details
How did the memoirs of burlesque stripper Gypsy Rose Lee inspire a hit musical? And why has the role of Gypsy’s mother proven irresistible to top stars from Ethel Merman and Rosalind Russell to Bette Midler, Patti LuPone and Audra McDonald? We will see a creative team that included Jule Styne, Stephen Sondheim and Arthur Laurents team up with director Jerome Robbins to turn the saga of a monstrous stage mom and daughter into a show that has thrilled audiences for more than six decades. With a new revival on Broadway this season, join us to find out why “Everything’s Coming Up Roses!”
