AUDRA GYPSY Reviews
 Jun 6 2025, 06:22:20 PM

I was let down by this Gypsy as well.  I love Audra.  But I much prefer Tyne Daly's mother earth and Patti's bravura.  I am in agreement with the previous poster who would give it to Jennifer Simard.  But I know that is not going to happen. And yes; Audras win will always have a asterix to it for the small informed broadway niche.  And who cares about the masses.  They don't care about the Tonys period.

If I were her I would lay low and come out swinging in a few months.  And I would swing very hard.  We will see if anyone brings it up on Sunday.  They would be wise to keep their mouths shuts as well.  That open letter really made the so called theater community look ridiculous.  The Megyn Kelly reading of the open letter really hits it on the nail.  ( and yes.. I think she is a right wing lunatic.. but take a look).

Chris has been out.  Has anyone seen Bud Weber's take on Ernest?

The old leading man ruined it for me.  I did love the gangsters.

She also missed many performances including most of the month of July.  Causing the production to loose money and close early two months after.

So something interesting that I heard last night from Bryan The Business Analyst ( a theater business analyst on the Tok).  I have not fact checked any of this.  Apparently when Audra won her Tony for Porgy and Bess the production and her performance where not exactly well received.  The production took many liberties and was in fact retitled Gershwins Porgy and Bess.  Sondheim wrote a editorial for the times blasting the production.  Apparently the theater community

Maybe just give your words some weight and some thought.  Have a good day.

You all are calling each other things and then criticizing Patti.  She is just being bitchy.  You all are being childish, antisemetic and expressing reverse racism.  Very dark.  The "those people" comment is one of the nastiest things I have read here .  But that is just today.

You’re the one trying to invent statements to better fawn over white people. I didn’t say anybody had to like Audra’s Rose. You’ll notice I haven’t said much of anything about Gypsy at all because nothing I’m saying is sp

If the roles are too much of a lift, they needed to codify an alternate schedule months ago. What's the point of them doing GMA or any press if there's a decent chance people won over by their appearance and buy tickets to see them... won't?"

So just a few weeks ago when mentioned that at any other job so many absences wouldn’t be tolerated and it was insinuated that someone should  be fired and made a example  ( after Hilty kept calling out) .. you all lost your sh*t and things were deleted .  Still feel the same?

And even with those lower cost tickets, they aren't selling out the house. Word of mouth is fairly poor. The Tony race was supposed to be Maybe Happy Ending vs. Dead Outlaw...but MHE has firmly pulled ahead. So no Best Musical win to boost the box office. Maybe a surprise win in book or an upset in featured actress. Neither

Real Women will have life after Broadway in many regional theaters.  Smash is just Trash that will soon be forgotten.

yes but also there is a conspiracy to elevate Scherzinger by bringing down Audra. It's all totally normal over here.

It gets more and more like soap operas on here. You can miss a month but still be able to pick up where you left off.

I guess the Scherzinger bringing down Audra must be to offset the incessant Audra bringing down Scherzinger posts? LOL

And if you pay attention it really does sound like mrshowbiz90210 has assumed another identity for themselves.
