Loveland, Ohio – Director Micheal Harris-Kiser has been thinking of directing this show for over two years. “This isn’t just a musical about an overbearing stage mother. It is a story of three strong women that come into their own lives. It is a story based on truth, but a story that delves much further into relationships with parents and children, lovers, and the characters themselves.”

Tickets are now on sale for Loveland Stage Company’s next production of the 2020 season, “Gypsy”. The popular musical opens on March 6 and continues through March 22 at the theatre located at 111 s. 2^ndSt. (Rt. 48).

“Gypsy” is a 1959 musical with music by Jule Styne, lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and a book by Arthur Laurents. It is loosely based on the 1957 memoirs of Gypsy Rose Lee, the famous striptease artist, entitled “Gypsy: Memoirs of America’s Most Celebrated Stripper.” The musical features popular songs “Let Me Entertain You” and “Everything’s Coming Up Roses” and several others. The original production was by David Merrick and Leland Hayward and the entire production was originally directed and choreographed by Jerome Robbins. “Gypsy” is presented by arrangement with Tams-Witmark.
