ADRIAN — The Croswell Opera House continues its 2026 Broadway Season with the musical “Gypsy.”
This classic musical about celebrity and family tells the story of Rose, an ambitious showbiz mother, and her two daughters as they travel across the country in search of fame with their vaudeville act. As the times change, Rose must accept the end of vaudeville, the rise of burlesque, and the price exacted on her daughter by her drive to succeed.
Set across America in the 1920s and ’30s, Arthur Laurents’ milestone show includes a celebrated score by Jule Styne and Stephen Sondheim. With one notable hit after another, including “Everything’s Coming Up Roses,” “Let Me Entertain You,” and “You Gotta Get A Gimmick,” “Gypsy” has been regarded as a quintessential American musical.
The director of “Gypsy” is Erica Wyman Abrahamson with choreography by Christopher Childers. The music director is Bill Hayes and the vocal director is Bradley Baker.

The role of Herbie is played by Jared Hoffert of Ann Arbor. Cece Underwood of Adrian plays the role of Baby June and Giuliana Kozak of Toledo, Ohio, plays the role of Baby Louise. Kai Yuen of Adrian plays the role of Tulsa and Cindy Eberhardt of Perrysburg, Ohio, plays the role of Electra.
