First, enjoy a delicious lunch at Olive Garden (lunch on your own).  Following lunch, a

short ride will bring you to the beautiful Goodspeed Opera House for the delightful musical Gypsy.

Here she is, world!  Momma Rose, the ambitious stage mother determined to drive her daughters toward stardom, takes center stage in one of the most celebrated musicals of all time.  And with her comes a parade of iconic tunes that conjure the joys and heartaches of show business: “Everything’s Coming Up Roses”, “Let Me Entertain You”, “Together, Wherever We Go”, and more.  The brassy masterpiece about vaudeville and burlesque lights up the Goodspeed stage for the very first time!

This trip will be using the Senior Center bus for transportation. 

You are responsible to find your own ride to the SC before the trip and home from the SC after. 

COST: $76 per person includes Gypsy center orchestra ticket and transportation.
