Photos: GYPSY Comes to Tacoma Little Theatre

Tacoma Little Theatre presents one of the greatest American musicals of all time, GYPSY, directed by Chris Serface, with choreography by Lexi Barnett, and musical direction by Debra Leach.

A crowning achievement in American musical theatre, Gypsy starts in Seattle and tells the story of Mama Rose, the ultimate stage mother, and her hopes and dreams for her daughters, June and Louise. As the lights of Vaudeville are dimming, Louise steps into the spotlight as Gypsy Rose Lee and rises to become one of the most famed burlesque performers of all time. Just like Mama Rose, Gypsy is brassy, bold, and sexy. Jule Styne's music and Stephen Sondheim's lyrics include popular hits such as: Let Me Entertain You, Some People, You'll Never Get Away from Me, If Momma Was Married, All I Need Is the Girl, Everything's Coming Up Roses, You Gotta Get A Gimmick and Together Wherever We Go.

This production stars Cassie Jo Fastabend (Louise/Gypsy), Stephanie Leeper (Mama Rose), Jed Slaughter (Herbie), Julia Wyman (Dainty June), Rico Lastrapes (Tulsa), Emilie Rommel-Shimkus (Mazeppa), Caiti Burke (Electra), Kathy Kluska (Tessie Tura), and features Ron Bauer, Alexandria Bray, Caleb Corpeno, JILL HEINECKE, Abbey Homan, Erika Jacobsen, Alex Koerger, Kepler Koerger, Liam Loughridge, Summer Mays, Erin O'Loughlin, Gunnar Ray, Jeremy Schroeder, CHARLIE STEVENS, AbiGail Webster, Joe Woodland, Kyle Yoder, and Olivia Zamira.
