Audra Delivers!
"I had my doubts about Audra McDonald being cast in this role. But after attending the Jan. 29 matinee, she’s not only the best Mama Rose I’ve ever seen on Broadway (beating 1989’s Tyne Daly, 2003’s Bernadette Peters, and 2008’s Patti LuPone), but delivered one of the greatest performances I’ve seen on stage, period! Audra was spectacular, both vocally as well as an actress. She was really “feeling it” when she sang (especially her raw delivery of the closing number, “Rose’s Turn”), while her range of emotion in playing the part, from maniacal, to delusional, to coquettish, was extraordinary. Audra, like Mama Rose, was a force of nature. The lady proved she has the chops to make this iconic role her own. While I don’t think her supporting cast was equally brilliant (except for the trio of strippers stopping the show with “You Gotta Get A Gimmick”), it’s hard to shine when performing next to a super nova like Audra. She was transcendent! "

Surprising
"Initially reluctant to attend this revival, however, I was pleasantly surprised at the outcome of my decision. Audra was amazing and versatile, beautiful trained voice and accomplished something amazing. The amount of dialogue memorized, I didn't nod off once!"

Absolutely Wonderful
"I have been to many many shows on Broadway and can say with all honesty that “Gypsy” is one of the best. Audra McDonald as Rose was perfect casting. Her voice sounded like it was coming from every pore of her body. There was never a moment when anyone in the cast dipped their energy. From the dancers to the leads, it was a cast that obviously knows how to work together and still make it fun. Strongly recommend seeing this show!!!"

Spectacular revival of a classic
"Audra McDonald reigns supreme as usual. This was a wonderful revival of a classic musical. While some revivals are reproduced with a modern twist, it’s nice to also keep the classics true to themselves. "

Audra leads the best revival of Gypsy since the original cast!
"The production honors its great classic Broadway roots in staging, choreography, and orchestration while bringing the story to life with new effects and a superb set. And Audra McDonald turns a once in a life time turn as Rose that should earn her a record 7th To y with classical acting, dancing, and singing. "

Stunning performances
"What a glorious gem of musical theater! The cast was equally strong and exceptionally talented. However, Audra gave one of the most compelling and sympathetic performances of Momma Rose that I have ever seen. Her final number was so stunningly powerful that the audience leapt to its feet with a standing ovation in the middle of the show. Do not miss it!"

Classic Broadway Perfection
"An iconic musical with an iconic lead! Everything about this show was amazing but I would have paid the same price just to watch Audra McDonald’s performance of Rose’s Turn! The whole cast truly embodied their characters. The set design was very impressive. My 10 year old twins loved every minute, especially Let Me Entertain You and You Gotta Get a Gimmick. We came to New York just to see this play and it was worth every penny!"
