CONFIRMED: Audra McDonald-led GYPSY to begin previews Nov 2024 — Page 33

JSquared2 said: "Looks like you heard wrong. She's shooting a TV series this fall/spring."

To be fair none of the articles I've seen about her Peacock series list dates –– sometimes things get announced and then take months or years for all the ducks to get in a row –– but I'll assume that it would begin in the next 10 months and conflict.

According to you, this whole production was never happening at all. So you have no credibility whatsoever. Take a seat.

I’m quite comfortable standing actually. Can smell that New Orleans flair from here!


If you want to play the direct quote game…

please reference the Sunset Boulvard thread for your credibility. I think you’re owed multiple eggs in the face.

Broadway Flash said: "If they don’t do the New Orleans thing, it’s because it all changed when they had to get a new director at the last minute and she convincedGeorge c Wolfe to do it. They 100% had/have a new book writer who wrote a new book. They’re going to start rehearsingthe show on Monday. Curious to hear what they do with these additional weeks of work."



Start building your case early, my dove. Proactive. I like it.

Dare I suggest you were wrong in your assertion?

Monday the LATEST

Y'all are wild lol. Does anyone here actually enjoy going to see Broadway shows anymore

How is this selling? We've been debating tickets but haven't heard much buzz other than McDonald's involvement. Now that Wolfe is returning we pray his splats with movies have not influenced his theatrical direction.

How hot is the ticket for those who follow the box office?

Is this a color blind production or color conscious?

My favorite detail in the casting breakdown is that the newsboys in Baby June’s act are black, but the boys in Dainty June’s act are white. So rose has gone from playing a black act, to black audiences, to playing a white-passing act for white audiences, moving closer to stardom. It’s a great idea.

According to the casting breakdowns, first day of rehearsal is September 30th. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I heard elsewhere today was the first table read, but I guess that was incorrect.
