Regarded by many theatre professionals as the finest musical ever created, Gypsy is the ultimate tale of an ambitious stage mother fighting for her daughters’ success – while secretly yearning for her own. Set all across America in the 1920s and 30s, when vaudeville was dying and burlesque was born, Arthur Laurents’ landmark show explores the world of two-bit show business with brass, humor, heart and sophistication.
Step into the shadows and experience an unforgettable musical journey through the eerie, the mysterious, and the delightfully macabre. Stage Fright: The Soundtrack of the Mysterious invites audiences of all ages to celebrate the iconic music that has brought chills, thrills, and supernatural wonder to the stage and screen.
