Gypsy is a 1959 musical with music by Jule Styne, lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, and a book by Arthur Laurents.
The story follows the life of overbearing stage mother Rose, who determined that her younger daughter June will have a successful career in vaudeville. However, after June elopes, Rose turns all her attention on her older, less talented daughter, Louise, who eventually becomes a burlesque dancer named Gypsy Rose Lee. The musical contains many songs that have become popular standards, including "Everything's Coming up Roses", "Together (Wherever We Go)", "Small World", "You Gotta Get a Gimmick", "Let Me Entertain You", "All I Need Is the Girl", and "Rose's Turn". It is frequently considered one of the crowning achievements of mid-20th century musical theatre.
