The company of this season's THE LAST SHIP upheld the long-time Broadway tradition of the Gypsy Robe Ceremony earlier this week. The tradition began in 1950, and honors the chorus member who has the most Broadway credits in the company. Each Broadway show to open during the season decorates the robe with a section dedicated to their specific show, and then passes it on to the next opening show. This ceremony honored chorus member Jeremy Davis. Click here for more coverage of the ceremony!
