Caroline O'Connor star of Chicago (Broadway and Australia), returns from Broadway to create the role of Rose for The Production Company. In Britain the critics hailed her performances in this role.
The award winning director Gale Edwards directs this
jewel of American musical theatre. GYPSY was
inspired by the memoirs of the famous burlesque dancer Gypsy Rose Lee, and
charts the story of her outrageous mother, Rose, who is determined to live out
her own dreams of stardom through her two daughters.

Caroline O'Connor's performance as Rose will be a 'must see' for all lovers of musical theatre, and will be presented at Melbourne's State Theatre 10 - 14 July 2013.
One of the great musical romances, Singin' in the Rain is set in Hollywood in the last days of the silent screen era.
