Gypsy is in good hands

EXPERIENCED Leongatha Lyric Theatre crew are behind the group’s latest production, Gypsy.

Assistant to the director/designer Colin Mitchell is Bernadette Grainger, while musical director is Carmel Slater and choreographer is Bron Kalos.

They have all brought their extensive theatrical experiences and expertise to make sure Gypsy the musical will delight all who come to see it in July.

Gypsy a human story about a mother, Rose (played by Elly Poletti), who wishes to see her daughters, Louise and June grace the vaudeville stage.

Rose’s grim determination to this end is trying for the girls who are dragged around the countryside to perform and be noticed.

Rose has regrets she never really “made it”, so is hell bent her daughters will.

Gypsy has all the elements to make a great night’s entertainment.

There’s passion, hardship, disappointment, emotional disharmony balanced with colourful dancing, bright singing and wonderful costumes.

There are many young people in the cast and it’s a joy to see them really nailing their roles.

Songs from Gypsy that could attract some public interest are Everything Is Coming Up Roses, Let Me Entertain You, You’ve Gotta Have A Gimmick and Together Wherever We Go.

Rehearsals are indicating the promise of a spectacular show. Leongatha Lyric’s website is now open for bookings online: www.lyrictheatre.net.au

Box office bookings open from June 22 at Gippsland Southern Outdoors, 1 Bair Street, Leongatha, from Monday to Friday, 11am to 3pm, and Saturdays 10am–12.
