May Musical Series

Hosted by Dennis Crow

'Gypsy

This glittering, exuberant new production of Gypsy, captured in 2015 before a live audience in London's legendary Savoy Theatre, captures the energy and dazzle of the classic musical in a whole new light. The recipient of eight Olivier Award nominations, this production stars Imelda Staunton in the iconic role of Mama Rose, with Lara Pulver, Gemma Sutton, Peter Davison, and Dan Burton offering outstanding supporting performances. The Daily Telegraph calls it "a triumph for Imelda Staunton," and The Times calls it a "stunning revival of one of the greatest Broadway musicals.

Staunton, who stars as Rose, is joined by Peter Davison as Herbie. Lara Pulver and Gemma Sutton play Louise and June, respectively. The production premiered at the Chichester Festival Theatre.

The cast also features Dan Burton as Tulsa, Billy Hartman as Uncle Jocko, Jack Chissick as Mr. Goldstone, Anita Louise Combe as Tessie Tura, Harry Dickman as Pop, Lucinda Shaw as Mother, Roger Dipper as L.A., Louise Gold as Mazeppa, Clare Halse as Majorie May, Tom Hodgkins as Mr. Weber, Kieran Jae as Yonkers, Julie Legrand as Electra, Danielle Morris as Geraldine, Luke Street as Little Rock, Damien Poole as Kansas, Lauren Hall as Delores and Natalie Woods as Agnes. Ensemble members include Liz Ewing, Lauren Ingram, Tom Murphy, and Phillip Catchpole.

This transfer marks the first time the show has been seen in London in more than 40 years, since Angela Lansbury starred in the show's first West End production in 1973 at the Piccadilly Theatre, before subsequently reprising it on Broadway.

Directed by Jonathan Kent, the show was filmed live the week of October 6, 2015

There will be a 10-minute introduction to the film by Dennis Crow with a discussion to follow as appropriate. A special dinner menu will be available during the show with pricing options. See tickets.
