Imelda Staunton

Gypsy, starring Imelda Staunton will transfer to the Savoy Theatre following the departure of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels in March 2015. The show opens on the 30th March and will run until 28th November 2015.

Along with Imelda, Lara Pulver and Kevin Whately are also expected to reprise their roles as Louise and Herbie in Jonathan Kent’s version of Athur Laurent’s classic musical.

The Chichester Festival theatre production received so many rave reviews that people have been practically begging for the show to come to London, breaking a 42 year absence from the West End stage.

Gypsy is the tale of a stage mom, Momma Rose, who will go to any lengths to showcase her daughters’ talents, especially her seemingly favourite child, Baby June. Constantly choreographing routines for Baby June to showcase her talents, Momma Rose as desperate for her kids, and the children she takes in as part of her act, to hit the big time as she is for them to stay young.

Rose is tested as her children grow into young women who wish to branch out on their own. Meanwhile, Rose’s long suffering partner, Herbie, is pushed to the limited by her obsessive need for her children to become stars.

Choreographed by Stephen Mear and with big designs by Anthony Ward, this production of Gypsy is one of the best yet!
