Like all great...and some not great musicals, Gypsy was created into a film.Luckily Gypsy is Both. So we shouldn't forget the greats who performed this play live, continue to revive it, and to all those high schools who have used this play at least once. Great music, great lyrics, great story. Enough said. |
