Baby June and Baby Louise perform “May We Entertain You?” as Mama Rose makes sure Uncle Jocko is paying attention.

Rose tells Pop that the quiet life is okay for “Some People,” but not for her.

Hitchhiking from Seattle to Los Angeles, the troupe picks up some more performers.

Rose persuades Herbie to be her agent by showing him it´s a “Small World” in which they have much in common.

In L.A., the expanded troupe performs as “Baby June and Her Newsboys.”

Everyone gets older, but the act stays the same.

Everyone proclaims “Mr. Goldstone, I Love You” to the man who can book the act on the Orpheum Circuit.

But on her birthday, Louise sits by herself with her new “Little Lamb” musing “I wonder how old I am.”

Despite their problems, Rose tells Herbie “You´ll Never Get Away From Me.”

The act gets a new look as “Dainty June and Her Farmboys” for the New York audition.

The tempo increases as the troupe sings and taps through “Broadway.”

After another disappointment, June and Louise agree that things would be a lot better “If Momma Was Married.”

Thinking about leaving the act, Tulsa practices a dance duet, “All I Need is the Girl,” as Louise imagines being that girl.

Undeterred when June and Tulsa elope and the remaining boys form their own act, Rose insists that with Louise as the new star, “Everything´s Coming up Roses.” Louise and Herbie aren´t so sure.

After recruiting young women, the act moves west and becomes “Madame Rose´s Toreadorables.”

Despite all, Rose, Herbie, and Louise agree to be “Together, Wherever We Go.”

In a small burlesque house somewhere in Texas, aging strippers explain their art to Louise: “You Gotta Get a Gimmick.”

When Rose offers Louise to fill the star strip spot, Herbie tells Rose he is leaving because he realizes she will never be a wife for him.

A very nervous Louise steps in front of the curtain to perform her first burlesque act and sings “Let Me Entertain You.”

With increasing confidence, Louise performs as Gypsy Rose Lee at a series of higher-class burlesque theaters, culminating at Minsky´s.

The new fame earns Louise a photo spread for Vogue.

Feeling that Louise is casting her off, Rose demonstrates how well she could have done in this profession.

“You would have been something, Mama—if you had had someone to push you, like I did.” Reconciled, Rose and Gypsy leave for a party together.

The whole cast comes out for curtain calls.
