Musical enthusiasts | Antonio Banderas fans
The mother of all musicals finally hits Spain!
A jewel of Broadway’s Golden Age, Gypsy arrives with all the glitz, grit, and glory that made it one of the greatest American musicals of all time. Directed by Antonio Banderas, this all-new Spanish production features a libretto by Arthur Laurents, music by Jule Styne, and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim—plus a powerhouse performance by Marta Ribera as the unstoppable Rose. Musical direction by Arturo Díez Boscovich, choreography by Borja Rueda, and translations by María Ruiz and Roser Batalla round out this star-studded creative dream team.
Stage moms, strippers, and showbiz dreams—Gypsy has it all.
Inspired by the memoirs of burlesque legend Gypsy Rose Lee, this dazzling tale follows the ultimate stage mother as she pushes her daughters into the spotlight while chasing a little limelight of her own. Set against the backdrop of 1920s–30s vaudeville and burlesque, expect three original Jerome Robbins choreographies, sharp wit, big brass numbers, and one unforgettable ride through the highs and heartbreaks of the entertainment world.
The story
Rose Hovick's daughters Louise and June are stars: she'll make sure of it. Come rain or shine, her girls will put in the work to be vaudevillian royalty, no matter the cost. They'll take on every role and climb every step the roaring 20s has to offer to become what their mother has always dreamed they could be. Or will they?
These tickets can't be cancelled or rescheduled.
