Director: Diane Wilson
Musical Director: Greg Crease Choreographer: Carly O'Rourke Regarded by many theatre professionals as the finest musical ever created, Gypsy is the ultimate tale of an ambitious stage mother fighting for her daughters' success - while secretly yearning for her own. Set all across America in the 1920s and 30s, when vaudeville was dying and burlesque was born, Arthur Laurents' landmark show explores the world of two-bit show business with brass, humor, heart, and sophistication. The celebrated score by Jule Styne and Stephen Sondheim boasts one glorious hit after another, including: "Everything's Coming Up Roses," "Let Me Entertain You," "Some People," "You'll Never Get Away from Me," "If Momma Was Married," "All I Need Is the Girl," "You Gotta Get A Gimmick," "Small World," and "Together Wherever We Go."

BTC celebrate 75 Year Anniversary!
plus special message from Patrons, HUMAN NATURE
On Friday 1st November 2024, following opening night of Sweeney Todd, BTC celebrated their 75th Anniversary. We were delighted with the amount of familiar faces, members (past and present) and new friends that came to honour our incredible milestone.
With glasses of champagne, a delicious cake and MORE HOT PIES, we shared stories of our times at BTC both on and off stage. Our current president, Brett Crispin, delivered a lovely speech and we were treated to a very special message from our Patrons, Human Nature. Our longest serving life members present on the night, Greg Crease, Diane Wilson and Ron Derley cut the cake, marking the historical event.
We are grateful to all who have supported Bankstown Theatre Company (previously Bankstown Theatrical Society) over the past 75 years and look forward to the next 75!
