On April 20, the RiverPark Center once again comes alive with Broadway at the RiverPark’s final installment Gypsy. This show will definitely have you on the edge of your seat ready to “sing out!”

            Describing the plot of this show is like peeling back the layers of an onion; there are several levels and elements that create this electrifying plot. On one layer, you have a driven mother pushing her two daughters (although focusing more on one than the other) to be someone great. On another, it is about how one sister finally steps out of the other sister’s shadow to be more than any of them could have ever dreamed. Finally, it is about a mother realizing that although the dreams she had for her kids have come true, she is left all along with her own aspirations still unrealized.

Far from a downer of a play, this high-energy show will certainly entertain and remind you “Everything’s Coming Up Roses!” sponsored by the City of Owensboro, Time Warner Cable, Messenger-Inquirer, Century Aluminum, and WFIE-TV, do not miss the final installment of the 2007-2008 BB&T Presents Broadway at RiverPark Season!

Tickets, priced at $37 and $47, are on sale now and can be purchased at RiverPark Center box office, riverparkcenter.org or by calling (270) 687-2787.
