Based on the memoirs of Gypsy Rose Lee, a famous burlesque stripper, tells the storry of Rose, an overbearing stage mother who is determined to break into the big time by pushing the vaudeville career of her youngest daughter June.

However, unwilling to tolerate her mother's manipulations, June elopes with a dancer. Rose then turns her attention to her older and less talented daughter, Louise.

Eventually Rose's dreams come to fruition when she successfully transforms Louise into a famous burlesque stripper known as Gypsy Rose Lee. No sooner has she succeeded, however, than Rose suffers a mental breakdown, realising that she is no longer needed in her daughter's life.

Matinees at 2pm are available on all Saturdays.
