Watch Judy McLane rehearse 'Some People' for Goodspeed Musicals' production of Gypsy, the first production of its 60th anniversary season.

The ultimate stage mother fighting for her daughters' success will appear on the Goodspeed stage for the very first time and will run from April 28 - June 18 at The Goodspeed in East Haddam, Conn.

Here she is, world! Momma Rose, the ambitious stage mother determined to drive her daughters toward stardom, takes center stage in one of the most celebrated musicals of all time. And with her comes a parade of iconic tunes that conjure the joys and heartaches of show business: "Everything's Coming Up Roses," "Let Me Entertain You," "Together, Wherever We Go," and more. The brassy masterpiece about vaudeville and burlesque lights up the Goodspeed stage for the very first time. Curtain up!

Gypsy features a book by Arthur Laurents, music by Jule Styne and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim. It is suggested by the memoirs of Gypsy Rose Lee.
