* CatharticCrying: In the final scene, after Rose admits to Louise that everything she did to make her daughters into stars was really [[SecretlySelfish because ''she'' wanted to be noticed]], Louise makes a NotSoDifferentRemark: "Like I wanted you to notice me." Hearing this, Rose breaks down crying in her daughter's arms, the first and only time she ever cries over the course of the show.

* TheTease: [[InvokedTrope Invoked]] by Louise during her striptease act (after all, it's in the name). She makes her career out of Rose's advice: "Make 'em beg for more, and then don't give it to them!" Louise's "gimmick" involves removing relatively few articles of clothing and, even when she does strip, always covering up with curtains or coats, all the while chatting directly with men in the audience and playfully flirting with them. This strategy makes her the hottest stripper in burlesque.

* AdaptationalAttractiveness: The real Gypsy Rose Lee was less of a conventional beauty than her sister June Havoc. It was her style and humor that made her a star in burlesque. Most actresses who play Louise are more classically pretty, especially Creator/NatalieWood in the film version. This also applies to some actresses who play Rose, such as Creator/BernadettePeters, compared to the real Rose Hovick.

* PimpingTheOffspring: Downplayed. Mama Rose Hovick, in a last-ditch effort to launch one of her kids to stardom, signs her daughter up to replace the arrested star of the burlesque and do a striptease act. Louise, while already a young woman, is a sexual innocent who has only ever done cutesy vaudeville dances, and as such is not happy being signed up for this, while Herbie, her mother's partner, is so disgusted that he leaves Rose for good. Ironically, this enables Louise to become the world-famous Gypsy Rose Lee, getting out from under her mother's thumb for good.

* IRejectYourReality: Mama Rose talks constantly about how vaudeville isn't going anywhere, and that someday, June, and later Louise, will be stars. As time passes and their act falters and flops, it becomes increasingly obvious to everyone but her that vaudeville is dead (except in burlesque) and will ''never'' come back. But Rose won't hear it, insisting that every new popular entertainment is just a fad.
* SecretlySelfish: Mama Rose might be the TropeCodifier in musical theatre. She spends her entire life pushing June and Louise to be stars, all the while claiming that she's doing it for them. But in the end, Rose finally admits that deep down, it was always about ''herself''--she didn't get the chance to be a leading lady, so she tried to mold her daughters to fulfill the dream that she never achieved.

* StageMom: Perhaps the UrExample, to the point where critics have called Mama Rose pushes a uniquely American character archetype. She forces June, then and later Louise, to be stars, managing every aspect of their lives and sacrificing their happiness and dignity in the name of fame. As with other stage mothers, it's also projection, as Rose desperately wants to be a star.star herself and so forces her daughters to make her own dream come true.
