Let us Entertain You! GYPSY Opens Friday January 19th at 7:30p -- Geauga Lyric Theater Guild in Chardon
by Geauga Lyric Theater Guild operations 16 Jan '18

16 Jan '18

*Gypsy* is the story of the ultimate stage mom, (based on the memoirs of Gypsy Rose Lee and her years in vaudeville with a domineering stage mother). Rose is determined that her daughters, first June, then Louise will be a STAR with capital letters. *Gypsy* is widely acknowledged to be one of the greatest of all American musicals, combining Stephen Sondheim's thoughtful (but still hilarious) lyrics with Jule Styne's wonderful, tuneful music, and Arthur Laurents' rich book. *Gypsy* will open Friday January 19, and run through February. Director Mark Cipra is excited. “We have a dream cast. The role of Mama Rose is sometimes called "the King Lear of musical theater" because it requires both great acting ability and a tremendous singing voice. We're very, very lucky to have Trinidad Snider playing the role, because she has the chops, in spades.” Rose, Trinidad Snider, is new to Geauga Theater. Playing her daughter Louise, who becomes Gypsy Rose Lee, is her actual daughter, Kirstin Henry. Kirstin was seen on our stage this season in *In The Heights*. Funny and touching*, Gypsy* is really the story of family drama; a mother wanting the best for her girls, and not always seeing that her goals are not necessarily theirs. *Everything’s Coming Up Roses* and *Let Me Entertain You*, are just two of the classic numbers in this show full of talent, on a rich stage setting. You’ve never seen Geauga Theater like this. Don’t miss it! *Geauga Theater is located at 101 Water Street, on the beautiful Chardon Square. Tickets are available at the website, www.geaugatheater.org <http://www.geaugatheater.org/>, or at the box office, 440-286-2255 <(440)%20286-2255>. * *Gypsy will run from January 19 to February 4, 7:30pm on Fridays and Saturdays, with a 2pm matinee on Sundays. Tickets range from $10-$18. * -- Erika Hansen Executive Director 106 Water Street Chardon, OH 44024 440.285.7701 operations(a)geaugatheater.org geaugatheater.org
