The Reston Community Players open their 50th season this weekend with the classic musical Gypsy.
Gypsy is based on the memoirs of famous burlesque artist Gypsy Rose Lee, and focuses on her mother Rose — the ultimate stage mom.
Theatre critic Clive Barnes once described the character of Rose as “one of the few truly complex characters in the American musical.”
The multi-Tony Award winning musical, first staged in the 1950s, has music by Jule Styne, lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and book by Arthur Laurents.
