GYPSY, A Musical Fable: Presented by the Muir Musical Ensemble

Gypsy: A Musical Fable is a big, brawling, boisterous musical based in the 1930s that follows the dreams and aspirations of Gypsy Rose Lee, a burlesque performer. Known as one of the most infamous stage mothers, Rose drives her daughters into show business, revealing the hardships and pressures of life as a performer. Loosely based on a 1957 memoir by Arthur Laurents, Gypsy features music by Jule Styne and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim.

 

Produced by the Muir Musical Ensemble—a musical theater organization at UC San Diego—more than 80 undergraduate students collaborate on all aspects of design, direction and acting. Students from all majors are invited to join, regardless of their theater experience, from all six colleges. Held every spring for more than 20 years, the musical provides students a chance to develop skills in leadership, public speaking and project management.
