Audra McDonald stars in GYPSY for a must-see Broadway revival.
Audra McDonald, acclaimed for her versatility and polish in American theater, stars in the upcoming production of GYPSY. Known for her ability to elevate any production, McDonald reunites with director George C. Wolfe, a prominent figure in American theater.
The Tony Awards Administration Committee recently announced that George C. Wolfe will receive the 2024 Special Tony Award for Lifetime Achievement in Theatre. This prestigious honor highlights Wolfe's significant contributions to the industry. His collaboration with McDonald in GYPSY is highly anticipated, bringing together two titans of the stage.
GYPSY, which premiered on Broadway in 1959 with Ethel Merman, has seen many legendary performers take on the iconic role of "Rose." Notable actresses include Angela Lansbury in 1974, Tyne Daly in 1989, Bernadette Peters in 2003, and Patti LuPone in 2008. The latest revival with McDonald promises to be a memorable addition to the legacy of this classic musical.
