?White Plains Performing Arts Center Conservatory Theatre presents Gypsy, April 15-17. The ultimate story about an aggressive stage mother's quest to live vicariously through her daughters' fame. Join Rose, June and Louise in their trip across the United States during the 1920's, when vaudeville was dying and burlesque was born. This gripping story highlights one of the most compelling and distressing aspects of show business. A classic musical with many Tony Awards to its name, Gypsy has been a Broadway favorite since it opened in 1959. With a book by Arthur Laurents, music by Jule Styne and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, songs include Let Me Entertain You, If Momma Was Married, You Gotta Get A Gimmick, Everything's Coming Up Roses and many more.

2016 is the fourth year of Broadway Reimagined, the partnership that combines the resources of Hennepin Theatre Trust with the innovation of Theater Latte Da to create a new interpretation of a familiar Broadway musical. This year's selection is a beloved classic of the American musical theater canon, the 1959 Jule Styne/Stephen Sondheim/Arthur Laurents creation GYPSY, based on the memoir of burlesque entertainer Gypsy Rose Lee. Theater Latte Da did this musical almost ten years ago in their old home The Loring Playhouse. Even though two actors reprise their roles, as do the director, music director, and choreographer, this is a different show in a bigger venue. And I'm convinced there is no better venue for this show in the Twin Cities than the beautifully restored Vaudeville theater that is the Pantages, where the historical characters in the play very likely performed nearly 100 years ago. There's a sense of history in this show which, along with Theater Latte Da's usual attention to detail in every aspect of the production, creates a beautiful, realistic, moving look into the world of show business and the quintessential stage mother/daughter relationship. As the song says, let Theater Latte Da entertain you, you will have a real good time, yes sir!
