In 1959, Mr. Sondheim (lyrics) collaborated with Jule Styne (music), Stephen Laurents (book) and Jerome Robbins (director) to create Gypsy. The show tells the story of stagemother Rose as she pushes her daughters Louise (later known as Gypsy) and June into vaudeville. The score includes the standards "Let Me Entertain You" and "Everything's Coming Up Roses."
