Set in the 1920s (when the Basie was built), Gypsy is based on a true story that follows the life of a shy young child performer in vaudeville (with a domineering stage mother) who grows up to become the most famous burlesque star of all time, Gypsy Rose Lee.
All auditioners are asked to prepare 16 bars of a ballad or an up-tempo selection in the style of the show that demonstrates both their vocal and storytelling abilities. There will be a dance audition for those being considered for a role that requires movement.
The show will play at the Count Basie Theatre September 16, 17, 18, 23, 24 and 25.
