But isn't that just her delusion? Isn't that the point?
"

The only part of Rose's Turn I've ever taken to be complete and utter delusion is the idea that there's going to be a "this time." The rest of it always seems slightly journalistic to me. She might be losing her mind but she's finally telling the truth to some degree. Even the line "someone tell me when is it my turn" on the back of her saying she did it for everyone else is her final admission that that's not true. She did it for her.

I saw her 6 months into the run, and I thought it was one of the most phenomenal performances I've ever seen on Broadway. No voice issues when I saw her and the best Roses Turn that I've ever seen - hands down.
