CONFIRMED: Audra McDonald-led GYPSY to begin previews Nov 2024 — Page 8

Well hopefully by 2026 someone will realize how wrong she is for this.

I remember he’d been linked to Damn Yankees last winter/earlier this year."

He's been seemingly linked to that for like 10 years, which doesn't feel like a great part for Mr. Gravitas and is not a revival that anyone is begging for."

Which distinguishes it from playing Herbie in yet another production of Gypsy how exactly?"


I never claimed he'd be a good Herbie!

But I also don't think Audra is an ideal Rose (give me LaChanze or Da'Vine Joy Randolph or Cynthia Erivo or Keala Settle), and I'm not dying for another revival of Gypsy, so maybe the goal of this rumored production is "miscast" 🤪

This is exactly why she wants changes. This ain’t Arthur Laurents, Julie Styne’s Gypsy. It’s AUDRA’S GYPSY. She’s the star! And will change it to suit her.

Since we're making it up as we go along, I hear Tom Kitt is being brought in to do a complete overhaul of the score. He'll be bringing Jule Styne's vintage score into the modern era. Just wait until you hear the new version of "If Momma Was Married" with nothing but acoustic guitars.

Could you even imagine."

Clearly that’s never happening on Broadway, but I’m actually very intrigued by that idea.

My dream casting that would have needed to happen about 40 years ago is Carol Burnett.

I am not sure where you get your information from, but I have been informed by amazingly good sources that 3 former Mama Roses will be playing the strippers. Bette Midler will be Mazeppa, Bernadette will be Tessie, and Patti Lapone will be Electra. However in the new book Mazeppa will be playing the kazoo.

Could someone explain this to me? Is there a lyric I'm forgetting or some connection I'm not making here?
