Our thoughts are with Audra.... — Page 2

My thoughts are with Audra as she deals with this, how awful.

Re: Audra performing tomorrow. Sometimes that is the most perfect cathartic release. Only she knows what is best for her right now.

My prayers are with Audra and her family during this incredibly difficult time. May God bless such a lovely and grace-filled human being (not to mention talented) as she moves through this grieving process.

According to Playbill.com, Audra will perform tomorrow, May 1st, miss performances May 2nd and 3rd, and return on May 4th. What a trouper! My thoughts and prayers are with her during this difficult time.

Sorry, just saw this info was previously posted...Anyway, I admire her dedication and professionalism.

Is there a charity that she very actively supports? We could all donate in his name.

Tragic.

My thoughts and prayers are with Audra and her family. What a terrible, terrible shock.

This is terrible. My prayers are with her and her family.

I was at the matinee yesterday... I cannot help but think that her decision to take little time off is based on a sense of responsibility to the production, her art, and perhaps even a kind of personal homage to her dad. She has stated how her parents were very supportive of her training and career, and this may be her way of coping with this life-changing moment.

I'd live to believe, as someone above stated, that the theater is the most healing place to be right now. Certainly this lovely show, with its emotional texture and powerful, affirmation of family and love, could provide a supportive and nurturing climate. One of the most moving aspects of 110 is the way John Cullum stands up for Lizzie's decision to spend time out of time with Starbuck. The heartbreaking irony here - that the play is about a loving dad's acceptance and support of a daughter -- is very likely not lost on the infinitely gifted Ms. McDonald.

She's a brilliant artist; may her art sustain her at this darkest time.

Very sad news. Our thoughts and prayers are with Audra and her family.

How terrible! My thoughts and prayers are with Audra and her family. May this not be a deterrance to her busy career and hopeful healing!

I feel awful for her. She was just a lovely woman when I met her at her concert with Barbara Cook in Philadelphia (my pic with audra is my desktop picture) and i have 110 in the shade tickets for may 18th. she is just such a wonderful warm person...and of course so talented. i am thinking of her.

Prayers on the way.

I've been to a number of McDonald's concerts in the Los Angeles area, and almost always her family has been in attendence from Fresno. They were clearly very close and I can only imagine the sense of shock and loss she must be feeling right now being so far from home. Like all of you, the McDonald family is in my thoughts and prayers.

How sad. My heart goes out to Ms. McDonald and her family.
