  New Bedford Festival Theatre, in celebration of its 20th anniversary of “bringing the Best of Broadway” to southern New England, will present the exclusive production of GYPSY - called the best Broadway musical ever created – at new Bedford’s Zeiterion Performing Arts Center July 16-25, 2010 for 8 performances. GYPSY tells the story of the quintessential stage mother, her dreams for herself and her daughters, and the daughter who dared live her own dream. Based on the memoirs of entertainer Gypsy Rose Lee, GYPSY tells the story of Rose who is determined to make her daughters stars of vaudeville and in doing so looses one and makes a star of the other while leaving her own ambitions and dreams unfulfilled. Set against the freewheeling days of vaudeville and burlesque, GYPSY explores ambition, jealousy, family relationships, and the bittersweet loss of innocence. Written by three American musical theatre icons: Arthur Laurents (book), Jule Styne (music), and Stephen Sondheim (lyrics), GYPSY features some of the greatest songs in Broadway history, including “Everything’s Coming Up Roses,” “Let Me Entertain You,” “Together, Wherever We Go,” and “You Gotta Have A Gimmick.” GYPSY, referred to as the greatest American musical by numerous critics and writers, will be directed and choreographed by Michael Susko, musical supervision will be by Juan Rodriguez, and artistic direction by George Charbonneau. Produced with gorgeous sets and costumes and full orchestra, staples of all Festival theatre productions, GYPSY will be a fitting tribute to musical theatre and the perfect celebration of Festival Theatre’s 20th anniversary. Tickets for GYPSY will be available at the Z Box Office (508.994.2900) starting Nov. 18, in time for holiday gift shopping. Call 508.991.5212 for further information.
