Gypsy

“It’s the role Frank Rich once compared to King Lear, the blueprint for all complicated, fearsome, possibly sociopathic, indisputably maniacal stage mothers that came in its wake. Fate twists and keeps twisting. If Gypsy is to be believed, Rose Thompson Hovick lived out the tragedy of getting what you wish for: making her daughter shine, only to be eclipsed. But then there was Ethel and Angela and Tyne and Bernadette and Patti and now Audra. Shine out, Rose. It’s your show after all.†— Sara Holdren, “Is It Swell? Is It Great? Audra McDonald Takes Over Gypsyâ€
