Film Gypsy (1962) and the Bonnie Delight Burlesque Revue

At the Bonnie Delight Burlesque Revue, 45 minutes of risqué business begins with a warm-up from emcee Shecky Greenblatt, followed by a colorful slate of songs from Charlie Singer, slinky moves from Miss Lola Lee, and the evening's versatile keystone, the titular Miss Bonnie Delight. Rounding out the sensual retrospective is a screening of Stephen Sondheim's mothers-and-daughters musical Gypsy. In the film, Rosalind Russell ruthlessly (and self-servingly) pushes her two daughters toward vaudeville fame, until the elder elopes. With her older sister out of the picture, the younger sis (Natalie Wood) becomes the unforgettable, self-mocking stripper Gypsy Rose Lee.
