Gypsy
August 23-September 1
Van Fleet Theatre
Directed by Lauren Cold Ash
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.

Location/Parking
This performance will take place in the Van Fleet Theatre at the Columbus Performing Arts Center, located at 549 Franklin Avenue. Please use the parking lot across the street from the building. Those who park in the lot on the side of the building may be towed. |
Timing:
Gypsy runs for approximately 2 and a half hours, including one 15 minute intermission. Once the show begins, please remain seated unless there is an emergency. Late arrivals may be seated after the opening number. After that time, we will not allow any further entry until intermission. The house will open approximately 30 minutes prior to the start of the show. Content Warning: Gypsy may not be appropriate for young children due to its burlesque associations. Gypsy also features a brief false accusation of sexual violence. This show was constructed based on the memoir of famed burlesque performer, Gypsy Rose Lee. It is important to note that this term should not be used to describe people, Romani or not, as it is considered a slur towards Romani people. |
Congrats to our cast and production team!
