"I'm an avid broadway show fan. I see at least 4 new shows a year. People raved about Gypsy, but it did not live up to its hype.

"Audra McDonald is an incredible actor and singer. However she made the character of Rose, the narcissistic, self-absorbed, selfish mother of her two children, one of whom she was determinied to make a star so unlikeable it was painful to watch this show. "
