Jodi Benson* is best known for providing the voice of Ariel in The Little Mermaid, the character Barbie in Toy Story, the title role in Thumbelina, as well as for her Tony Award nomination for Polly Baker in Crazy For You on Broadway. Delaney Benson*, Jodi's daughter, will star alongside her as Rose's daughter, Louise. Regarded by many theatre professionals as the finest musical ever created, Gypsy is the ultimate tale of the ambitious stage mother, Rose, fighting for her daughters’ success – while secretly yearning for her own. All while June and Louise wish their mother would settle down and get married, Rose continues to pursue dreams of stardom for her girls and will stop at nothing to get what she wants. Set across America throughout the 1920s and 30s, when vaudeville was dying and burlesque was born, this landmark show explores the world of two-bit show business with brass, humor, heart, and sophistication. The celebrated score by Jule Styne and Stephen Sondheim boasts one glorious hit after another, including ‘Everything's Coming Up Roses,’ ‘Let Me Entertain You,’ ‘Some People,’ ‘You'll Never Get Away from Me,’ ‘If Momma Was Married,’ ‘All I Need Is the Girl,’ ‘You Gotta Get A Gimmick,’ ‘Small World’ and ‘Together Wherever We Go.’ Thursday, January 30 at 7:30PM Friday, January 31 at 7:30PM Saturday, February 1 at 2PM Saturday, February 1 at 7:30PM Sunday, February 2 at 2PM Wednesday, February 5 at 7:30PM Thursday, February 6 at 7:30PM Friday, February 7 at 7:30PM Saturday, February 8 at 2PM Saturday, February 8 at 7:30PM Sunday, February 9 at 2PM Wednesday, February 12 at 7:30PM Thursday, February 13 at 7:30PM Friday, February 14 at 7:30PM Saturday, February 15 at 2PM Saturday, February 15 at 7:30PM Sunday, February 16 2PM *Production photos courtesy of the Gulf Coast Symphony c2023 Bruce Jaeger photography
