There's no biz like showbiz, and the show must go on!

Real success and lasting happiness comes from following your own dreams and not from trying to control others.

I think a key theme in GYPSY is the relationship between identity and transformation, which we see in both Rose and Louise, in ways that are somewhat opposite. Rose starts off strong in her identity and it is when she doesn't know who she is anymore (a process that reaches its peak in "Rose's Turn," that's when the transformation comes, in time for the final scene. For Louise, who starts off with no apparent sense of who she is, her transformation during the extended "Let Me Entertain You" sequence helps her to discover her identity. The relationship between these two ideas also plays out in the other characters like June and Herbie.

A theme is following your dreams and seizing opportunities to get everything you want out of life. There are other themes of mental illness and the changing roles of parents and children.

Mental illness?

One theme: the devoted, relentless "support and help" for others can in reality be an expression of selfishness and self-aggrandizement, especially when one cannot see the true impact they are having on the lives of others.

The common theme of the show is Rose is always seeking the attention that she never got from her mother.

While there are several themes in the show, I think the dangers and personal costs of Rose's single-minded pursuit of fame & fortune is the one most recognizable to me. At the end, when she's destroyed her relationships with her girls she still believes she's the one that deserves her turn.

I see several themes: --Growing up and breaking away: Rose breaks away from her father, and the two kids each break away from Rose. Rose tries to stunt their growth by keeping them little girls, because if they're not little girls, she can't control them. --Coming to one's own femininity/womanhood: Because Rose needs a "boy" to back Baby June's act, Louise is denied the chance to explore her own girlhood--and this chance comes at a rush at the burlesque theater: "I'm a pretty girl, Mama!" --Rebelling against convention: Deep down, Herbie wants the conventional life with a stay-at-home wife and mother--and so does Louise, at first. Much musical theater rebels against a staid society that favors the straight white affluent WASPy male and oppresses all "Others". I wrote this in a term paper decades ago: The feminine side, the dark side, the emotional side, the Dionysian side, needs to be loved, cherished, valued, respected, and embraced as essential to humanity. The “Broadway Queen” has been loving all this for decades.

Gypsy explores the relationship between a controlling mother and her daughters in the show business arena. Rose is using her daughters to capture the fame that has eluded her and has to face the autonomy her daughter has achieved for herself.
