Episode description
In this episode, we take center stage with the 2024 Broadway revival of "Gypsy," starring the incomparable Audra McDonald at the Majestic Theater. We strip away the sequins to reveal the heart of this iconic musical, exploring McDonald's potentially divisive portrayal of Mama Rose and the production's attempts to breathe new life into a Broadway classic. From George C. Wolfe's direction to Danny Burstein's standout performance as Herbie, we leave no stone unturned. Is this revival letting them entertain you, or is it a case of déjà vu? Join us as we debate the show's highs, lows, and everything in between, including our Tony Awards predictions. Whether you're a die-hard "Gypsy" fan or a Broadway newcomer, this episode is your backstage pass to the most talked-about revival of the season.
