This play about the making of the musical Gypsy is imaginative and full of historical tidbits about the lives of "Baby" June, Gypsy Rose Lee, Ethel Merman and others. It is cleverly written with flashbacks and and scenes of what might have taken place to get the show up and running. It was particularly interesting to me because a young girl in my dancing school played the original part of Rose and the backend of the cow. The piece easily moves between decades, all the while keeping the story flowing. Very clever piece.
