Review: In Gypsy,' Audra McDonald's Gonna Show It to Ya
Briefly

"It's only fitting that we pore over 'Gypsy' as if it were holy writ... it is also, along with West Side Story and Guys and Dolls, one of the most frequently revived."
"The revival, certainly the most original of the five... offers traditionalists much to worry on. Granted, a lot of what they have been mulling is minutia: The show has restored a 10-bar lead-in to the ballad Small World!"
"Though it would be absurd not to get a Rose from McDonald... it's true that Rose Hovick, the woman the character is modeled on, was white."
"George C. Wolfe's production... also stars Joy Woods as Louise and Danny Burstein as Herbie, showcasing fresh perspectives in this iconic musical revival."
