It was today announced that Jonathan Kent’s production of Gypsy starring Imelda Staunton as the indomitable Rose will extend it’s run at the West End’s Savoy Theatre with booking now to 28 November 2015. Kent’s production originally opened at the Chichester Festival Theatre in October last year.

Gypsy is considered by many to be the greatest of the Broadway musicals. It tells the true story of ambitious showbiz mother Rose, who treks across America with her daughters Baby June and Louise in search of success with their homespun vaudeville act. As times change, Rose is forced to accept the demise of vaudeville and the rise of burlesque, as well as her daughters’ quest for autonomy.

This is the first production of Gypsy to be seen in London in forty years.
