Loosely based on the 1957 memoir of the celebrated burlesque artist Gypsy Rose Lee, Gypsy is a musical with a book by Arthur Laurents, music by Jule Styne, and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim. It opened on Broadway in 1959 and ran for 702 performances.

Although the original production did not win a Tony Award, it was nominated for 8 categories, including Best Musical. It is also regarded today as one of the best American musicals of all time. Since debuting in 1959, Gypsy has been revived several times both on Broadway and on West End in London.

Gypsy tells the story of the Mama Rose, a domineering stage mother who is willing to move mountains just to get her daughters into show business. Her younger daughter, June, is always the centerpiece of their act, while her older, less-talented child, Louise, is often billed as one of the boys.

The children grow up, and their act, Dainty June and the Farmboys, finally performs on the Orpheum Circuit. Suddenly, June goes missing one day. She reveals in a letter that she has eloped with Tulsa, one of the boys from the act. Mama Rose is hurt, but she then turns all her attention on Louise and vows to make her a star. Eventually, Louise transforms into the burlesque superstar Gypsy Rose Lee.
