The event was part of the Grammy Museum's New York City program, which is transplanting the institution's education and public programs to NYC.

The revival, which starred six-time Tony winner McDonald as Rose, played its final performance August 17 at the Majestic Theatre. Directed by George C. Wolfe, the staging opened December 19, 2024. With her 11th Tony nomination, McDonald made history this year as the most Tony-nominated performer of all time (along with her previous record of being the most Tony-awarded performer in Tony history, with six).

Along with 2025 Tony nominees McDonald as Rose, Danny Burstein as Herbie, and Woods as Louise, the cast was led by Tyson as June, Csolak as Tulsa, Lesli Margherita as Tessie Tura, Lili Thomas as Miss Mazeppa, Mylinda Hull as Miss Electra, Jacob Ming-Trent as Uncle Jocko, Kyleigh Denae Vickers as Baby Louise, and Marley Lianne Gomes and Jade Smith as Baby June. Tryphena Wade was the standby for Rose.

Gypsy, based on the mostly fictional memoir of famed burlesque performer Gypsy Rose Lee, features a book by Arthur Laurents and songs with music by Jule Styne and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim. The work has been filmed three times: a 1962 feature film starring Rosalind Russell, a 1993 TV film starring Bette Midler, and a filmed stage performance of a 2015 London revival starring Imelda Staunton.
