| Rose with her two young daughters June and Louise tour American vaudevilles. The girls have an act centring on June with a backing group of boys. Rose has big ambitions for the girls. She persuades Herbie to become their manager. Vaudeville is in decline and as the girls grow up venues are closing. One of the boys shows June an act he has been working on and asks her to be part of it. They elope and start up on their own. Rose now makes Louise the centre of the act - but she replaces the boys with girls. One day they arrive at a venue to find they have been booked into a burlesque show. Louise says that as they are being paid they should go on with the booking. Rose realises that they have reached an end and accepts Herbie's proposal they get married at the end of the run. The lead stripper gets arrested - Rose says that Louise should take her place. Horrified Herbie leaves for good. Louise does go on but only removes a glove - the audience goes wild. This becomes the basis of Louise's act - never take everything off - leave them wanting more. She now restyles herself as Gypsy Rose Lee and ditches her mother. Rose is left embittered knowing that she herself could have been a star | |||||

Synopsis: | He brought us Into The Woods, Company, Sweeney Todd, A Little Night Music, Sunday in the Park with George, A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum, West Side Story, and Gypsy (to name a few). By writing songs that reflect the complexity of his characters, he has changed the way we define a great musical. But even though millions of fans know his songs by heart, few know much about Stephen Sondheim himself. Until now. Roundabout presents Sondheim On Sondheim, an intimate portrait of the famed composer in his own words. . . and music. Through the use of exclusive interview footage, you'll get an inside look at Sondheim's personal life and artistic process. An ensemble cast of Broadway's best will perform brand-new arrangements of over two dozen Sondheim tunes, ranging from the beloved to the obscure. Directed by frequent Sondheim collaborator James Lapine, this unique experience will take you inside the life and mind of an ordinary New Yorker. . .with an extraordinary talent. | |||||
