ABILENE, June 26 – Great Plains Theatre, Kansas’s Premier Professional Theatre, is proud to present Gypsy June 30th through July 9th.

Gypsy tells the story of a girl named Louise who transformed into Gypsy Rose Lee, one of the most famous burlesque dancers in American history, with more than a little help from her mother. Though the story of Gypsy is built around Gypsy Rose Lee’s early life and experiences, it’s Mama Rose that audiences remember. With powerful songs such as “Everything’s Coming Up Roses” and “Rose’s Turn” Mama Rose is a powerful woman to be reckoned with.

Featuring Rosemary Loar, a member of the original casts of Sunset Boulevard and Chess, as Mama Rose. Loar is no stranger to powerful roles, having been a critically acclaimed “Grizabella” on the National Tour of Cats, and is excited to bring her personal star power to the Great Plains Theatre stage.

As a bulwark of the theatrical arts in the Midwest, Great Plains Theatre is proud of the professional quality performances that such talented actors provide. After the wild success of the 2017 season opener Mamma Mia!, which packed the house night after night as amazed audience members spread the word of the joy of professional theatre, Gypsy promises to continue the excitement.
