Regarded by many theatre professionals as the finest musical ever created, Gypsy is the ultimate tale of an ambitious stage mother fighting for her daughters’ success – while secretly yearning for her own. Set all across America in the 1920s and 30s, when vaudeville was dying and burlesque was born, Arthur Laurents’ landmark show explores the world of two-bit show business with brass, humor, heart and sophistication.

Seeking both kids and adults to participate in this fantastic production with the Beverly Theatre Guild, Chicago’s longest running community theatre organization! Performance dates are May 2-4, 2025.
