Photo Coverage: GYPSY Starring Imelda Staunton!

Based on the memoirs of Gypsy Rose Lee, with lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, Gypsy is considered by many to be the greatest of the Broadway musicals. Featuring classics such as Let Me Entertain You, Rose's Turn and Everything's Coming Up Roses,Gypsy is both moving and spectacularly entertaining.

Imelda Staunton returns to Chichester to play the legendary Momma Rose. She teams up again with Jonathan Kent, who directed her in another classic Sondheim role, Mrs Lovett inSweeney Todd (2011), a performance earning her the 2013 Olivier Award for Best Actress in a Musical. Jonathan Kent's most recent production for Chichester was Private Lives which has recently been broadcast in cinemas across the UK.

Lara Pulver returns to Chichester to play Louise following her performance in Uncle Vanya (2012). Kevin Whately, familiar to many as Lewis (ITV), makes his Chichester debut as Herbie.
