What do you do when you happen to have an available theater and want to raise a few bucks? Well, you do what Andy Hardy and his friends did and say, "Hey! Let's put on a show." That's what Tyne Daly and the rest of the folks in the cast of the 1989 revival of Gypsy did that November, they put on a show that was to become the annual "topper offer" of the Fall BC/EFA fund-raising season

"Gypsies" are those sometimes nameless folks in the chorus of a musical, you know, the ones doing all of the real work, as celebrated in Chita Rivera's A Dancer's Life. Some gypsies get to go on to stardom and fame, such as Ms Rivera, Shirley McLane and Gwen Verdon. For the most part, unless one happens to get a piece of business to work in a show, they are unheralded, credited simply as "chorus" or "ensemble"

The gypsies also do much of the work in BC/EFA's fund-raising efforts on Broadway and touring shows throughout the country. The Gypsy of the Year competition is the highlight of the Fall season and each edition is expected to be a gypsy- and star-studded event
