Many, including critic Ben Brantley of the New York Times, have speculated that Gypsy, an American musical, is the best of all time. It chronicles the aspirations and struggles of a determined and strong mom who wants to see her two children succeed in show business. Gypsy is mostly based on Gypsy Rose Lee’s 1957 biography, Gypsy: Memoirs of America’s Most Celebrated Stripper, about her life as a famous striptease performer. Gypsy Rose Lee’s mother, Rose, gained recognition as the iconic “Stage Mother” and a place in the literary and theatrical canons thanks to the memoir and musical. Songs from the musical, such as “Some People,” “Let Me Entertain You,” “Rose’s Turn,” and the jaw-dropping “Everything’s Coming Up Roses,” have become staples in the canon of musical theatre.
