When she gets put in detention with the African-American students in the school, they teach her some of their dance moves, and her newly found groove wins her a spot on Corny’s show. Overnight, Tracy transforms from a nobody into a star and uses her newfound influence to advocate for racial integration on the television show. Tracy faces scrutiny and bullying from the network producer, Velma, and her popular, but vicious, daughter, Amber. With the help of the teenage heartthrob Link, host Corny Collins, and Motormouth Maybelle (the host of ‘Negro Day’), Tracy overcomes the odds and succeeds in her mission to integrate The Corny Collins Show.

It follows the dreams and efforts of Rose to raise two daughters to perform onstage and casts an affectionate eye on the hardships of show business life. The character of Louise is based on Lee, and the character of June is based on Lee s sister, the actress June Havoc.Gypsy has been referred to as the greatest American musical by numerous critics and writers, among them Ben Brantley ( what may be the greatest of all American musicals )[1] and Frank Rich.[2]Rich wrote that Gypsy is nothing if not Broadway s own brassy, unlikely answer to King Lear. [3] Theater critic Clive Barnes wrote that Gypsy is one of the best of musicals and described Rose as one of the few truly complex characters in the American musical. [4]A musical based on the memoirs of Gypsy Rose Lee was a project of producer David Merrick and actress Ethel Merman. Merrick had read a chapter of Lee s memoirs in Harper s Magazine and approached Lee to obtain the rights. Jerome Robbins was interested, and wanted Leland Hayward as co-producer; Merman also wanted Hayward to produce her next show.[5] Merrick and Hayward approached Arthur Laurents to write the book. As he relates, Laurents initially was not interested until he saw that the story was one of parents living their children s lives. Composers Irving Berlin and Cole Porter declined the project. Finally, Robbins asked Stephen Sondheim, who agreed to do it. Sondheim had worked with Robbins and Laurents on the musical West Side Story. However, Merman did not want an unknown composer, and wanted Jule Styne to write the music. Although Sondheim initially refused to write only the lyrics, he was persuaded by Oscar Hammerstein to accept the job.[6] As another school year begins, the Wagner performing arts program is once again proud to serve as a site for the Metropolitan Opera HD Live Simulcasts.  We are happy to announce this year s schedule of broadcasts.  Please note, that our schedule is often different from that listed on the Met Opera s own web page.  Please use our schedule here for viewing at Wagner High School.Once again, these broadcasts are live from the Metropolitan Opera House at Lincoln Center.  The dates and productions are:October 14, 2017:  The Magic Flute  (1:00pm start)December 9, 2017:  Hansel Gretel  (1:00pm start)February 10, 2018:  Tosca  (1:00pm start)March 10, 2018: Elixir of Love  (1:00pm start)May 12, 2018: Cosi  (1:00pm start)We look forward to see you at the broadcasts for another wonderful year of opera from the Met!
