This people's got it, and this people's
spreadin' it around! The legendary Patti
LuPone is Mama Rose in Gypsy.
A consummate show-biz musical suggested
by the memoirs of stripper Gypsy Rose Lee.
She was once just plain Louise, the awkward
daughter of an unstoppably ambitious stage
mother. When her pretty sister runs away
from the family's minor vaudeville act,
Louise tries to fulfill her mother's dreams.
But it's not until trouping with Mama dwindles
to appearing in burlesque, that Louise finally
finds pleasure in the spotlight. The vibrant
score includes 'Some People,' 'Let Me Entertain
You,' 'Together,' 'Everything's Coming Up
Roses' and 'Rose's Turn.'
