Live performance of Stephen Sondheim's musical, recorded at London's Savoy Theatre in 2015. Pushed into the limelight by her overbearing mother Rose (Imelda Staunton), a young Louise (Lara Pulver) forms a stage act with her older sister June (Gemma Sutton). Pinning her hopes for fame on June, Rose recruits Herbie (Peter Davison) to be the girls' agent and takes their show on the road. When June suddenly escapes the act to get married however, the unwilling Louise is forced into the spotlight by her mother who books her to perform at a cheap burlesque house. Quickly adapting to her new audience, Louise goes from strength to strength performing as stripper Gypsy Rose Lee.

Please note this is a region 2 DVD and will require a region 2 (Europe) or region Free DVD Player in order to play. Imelda Staunton stars in "the performance of her career" in one of the greatest ever musicals, based on Gypsy Rose Lee's Memoirs, the famous striptease artist. Telling the story of the original archetypal show-business mother, who raises Lee (played by Lara Pulver - True Blood, Sherlock) and her sister June as they travel around America with their vaudeville act and co-stars Peter Davison (Dr Who, All Creatures Great and Small). This West End revival has already received 3 Laurence Olivier Awards (Best Actress - Staunton, Supporting Actress - Pulver and Best Musical Revival) and 2 U.K. Theatre Award Nominations (Best Actress - Staunton, Best Musical Revival) and is considered by many to be the greatest American musicals of all time. Complete with premium special packaging, this DVD is a must-have for any fan of Musical Theatre.
