    Gypsy A Musical Fable, Book by Arthur Laurents Music by Jule Styne Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim Suggested by memoirs of Gypsy Rose Lee Original production by David Merrick & Leland Hayward Entire production originally directed and choreographed by Jerome Robbins Directed and choreographed by Kimberley Rampersad Music direction by Paul Sportelli Set designed by Cory Sincennes Costumes designed by Tamara Marie Kucheran Lighting designed by Kevin Fraser Sound designed by John Lott THE STORY Gypsy is a musical set in the backstage world of American vaudeville theatre during the early 20th century. There are two story lines: 1) The struggles of life in the theatre as performers chase their dreams of stardom, and 2) the universal story of a mother/daughter relationship. At the top of the show we meet Mama Rose. Rose is a domineering, brash stage-mother who dreams of fame and stardom for her daughters, Louise and June. Rose devotes her entire being to building their stage careers June, the younger daughter, is an extroverted, talented child star. The older daughter, Louise, is shy. Their kiddie Vaudeville act has one song, "Let Me Entertain You," that they sing over and over and over again, with June always as the center- piece and Louise in the background. The girls grow up and continue to perform the same act. June becomes tired of her mother’s influence and the endless touring. She elopes with one of the backup dancers. Rose is deeply hurt, but determinedly vows that she will now make Louise a star. Unfortunately, with the rise of radio and movies, the Vaudeville theatre jobs disappear.

    The Cultural Perspectives of West Side Story By Sandra Flavin A thesis presented to the Honors College of Middle Tennessee State University in partial Fulfillment of the requirements for graduation from the University Honors College. March 2019 The Cultural Perspectives of West Side Story By Sandra Flavin APPROVED: ______________________________ Kate Goodwin Department of Theatre and Dance ______________________________ Dr. Philip E. Phillips, Associate Dean University Honors College Dedication For my mother, who loved the arts, especially musical theatre. Thank you for introducing me to this wonderful musical at the tender age of seven. You are remembered. iii Acknowledgments Doing a project like this takes time. It also takes patience and diligence while working toward a common goal. I have collaborated with many people in my day, and I have never met someone so dedicated to a project like Kate Goodwin. Her love for the performing arts is immeasurable. With her unwavering support and dedication, I have been able to create a piece of theatre history that will hopefully find its way to those who love the arts, and those who want to learn about West Side Story. I could not have done it without her. To Kristi Shamburger, thank you for reading this thesis with love and an open mind. Your passion for musical theatre inspires me. I would also like to thank Dr. Martha Hixon for her encouragement and support. She was more than willing to me when I needed her expertise. iv Abstract The Cultural Perspectives of West Side Story By Sandra Flavin Advisor: Kate Goodwin This thesis explores the cultural perspectives of West Side Story and whether the musical should be shelved as a piece of history.
