Gypsy Original Broadway Cast Recording CD

Thirteen years after dazzling audiences as a frontier sharpshooter in Annie Get Your Gun, Ethel Merman mesmerized them again as an indomitable stage mother in Gypsy, the story of Gypsy Rose Lee and her performing sister June Havoc. With a percussive score by Jule Styne, and solidly crafted lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, Gypsy stands out arguably as one of the two most perfect musicals ever created (the other one being Guys And Dolls). Over the years, it has been revived frequently, but Merman’s larger-than-life portrayal remains the standard by which all others are measured. Jack Klugman and Sandra Church were also in the cast.

Gypsy opened May 21, 1959, at the Broadway Theatre, New York City, and played for 702 performances.
