Gypsy
Gypsy
Gypsy, one of the greatest ever Broadway musicals, is now at the Savoy Theatre after claimed five stars at the Chichester Festival Theatre.
Imelda Staunton delivers a "knock-out performance" (The Independent) as Momma Rose in Jonathan Kent's "dazzling revival" (Mail on Sunday), alongside Lara Pulver, who reprises her stunning role as Louise. They’re joined by Peter Davison as the conscientious Herb, in this triumphant musical fable.
Based on the true life memoirs of legendary burlesque entertainer, Gypsy Rose Lee, it tells the story of Momma Rose and her two daughters, Baby June and Louise, trekking across America in their family vaudeville act.
But as times change and audiences expect more, the two girls have their own ambitions in mind. The rise of burlesque is upon them, and nothing will ever be the same again for Momma Rose. With lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, book by Arthur Laurents and music by Jule Styne, this moving and "scintillating" (The Times) production of Gypsy is the first to be seen in London for 40 years.
The following performances of GYPSY are going to be filmed on the following dates:
TUESDAY 6th OCT – 7.30pm, WEDNESDAY 7th OCT – 2.30pm and WEDNESDAY 7th OCT – 7.30pm.
There will be cameras in the theatre auditorium in both the Stalls and Dress Circle areas.

I absolutely LOVED this production from start to finish. Imelda Staunton was phenomenal! She exudes such energy and vitality. The whole cast were fabulous. Coming from a family of Vaudevillian performers the musical itself strikes a chord with me and I have always been fond of the film 'Gypsy'. I am so happy I have been lucky enough to have seen this production with one of my lovely friends Liza! Whooo hooo

This is a perfect re make of an old school musical. Imelda Staunton is outstanding as Rose. Her singing and acting are brilliant and the standing ovation at the end was well deserved. The rest of the cast are also brilliant. See this before it finishes in November

Production very good.Imelda Staunton excellent.Didnt know she could sing as well as act! The trouble was my daughter and I did not like the show itself.We found it boring long winded and tedious Im afraid.Iremember seeing the film years ago and this stage version now seems rather dated.

Although Imelda Staunton was brilliant in the lead role, I didn't really enjoy the musical. The storyline was a bit tame and I was bored. I'm afraid I wouldn't recommend to my friends - sorry.

although Imelda Staunton is a great actress we were very disappointed with the show. It is a story about very poor actors so naturally there is loads of poor acting and singing....we frankly couldn't see the point as we found it to be not enjoyable at all.

Imelda Staunton should get an award for her performance, absolutely brilliant, a great production of this story, if you are a fan of musicals do not miss this show! The Savoy is a small and intimate theatre and was a perfect choice for Gypsy.

An all round exceptional performance from ever aspect of the production team to the cast and sometimes the unsung heroes the Orchestra......if you are a fan of musical theatre this is certainly one show you don't want to miss, Gypsy Rose Lee was absolutely stunning and as for Mama Rose......mind blowing!!!
