Gypsy: A Musical Fable, loosely based on then-striptease artist Gypsy Rose Lee's 1957 memoir, was written in 1959. A hit upon its release, the musical would go on to be described as the "greatest musical of all time" due to its ability to dive into the complexities of the mother-daughter relationship at the heart of the story. Antonio Banderas directs the Madrid production in Spain's first staging of a theatrical classic.
It's the roaring 20s and America is on the cusp of a creative revolution: burlesque and vaudeville are breaking new ground. Two young hopefuls spend their days practicing and performing under the determined eyes of their mother, Rose. Stardom, ever elusive, proves to be a harder feat, but Rose is no quitter and will make her daughters stars - no matter the cost.
Gypsy features hit songs like “Everything’s Coming Up Roses,” “Let Me Entertain You,“ and “You Gotta Get a Gimmick." One of the most beloved soundtracks of all time, the show is usually translated when it is staged across the world.
