Come join us and LET US ENTERTAIN YOU!


In this titillating tale of the world famous strip-tease artist, Gypsy Rose Lee, we see the end of vaudeville and the beginnings of burlesque. Focusing on the ultimate show-biz Mother, Rose, touring across the United States, with her two daughters, the precocious, pampered June and the overlooked, quietly tolerant Louise, we are taken on a journey across the United States of the Great Depression.  
 
They are joined along the way by troupes of children and a long-suffering Herbie, who just wants to settle down with Rose. Finally, after many twists and turns, Louise blossoms into the famous Gypsy Rose Lee, setting men's hearts and pulses racing all over the United States.
 
Your hearts and pulses will race to the all time favourites of ‘Let Me Entertain You’ and ‘Everything's Coming Up Roses’ and you'll thrill to the wonderful company of children and their exciting tap numbers. This is a BIG show with entertainment for all.

Uncompromised quality, this production features a cast of over 30 led by Robyn Lassman as Rose and Mark Bunnett as Herbie, with Caitlin Street as Louise, the ugly duckling who blooms into the beautiful Gypsy Rose Lee and Nicole Campbell as Dainty June, supported by a children’s company of 16 talented dancers.
