Gypsy is the landmark Broadway musical about a domineering mother in the early 20th Century who will do anything to make her young daughters Vaudeville stars. Inspired by the early life of stripper Gypsy Rose Lee, this new production is directed by George C. Wolfe and choreographed by Camille A. Brown, and is the musical that introduced the hit songs “Everything’s Coming Up Roses,” “Let Me Entertain You,“ and “You Gotta Get a Gimmick.”
"The younger actors were very talented. Older members seemed to overact, over emote , scream their lines. Seemed very retro in a not so good way.,
The show seems dated… not a good reprisal.,"

Not my favorite rendition of Gypsy
"Her voice is wrong for Mama Rose. Too operatic"

This Gypsy tries too hard
"This Gypsy didn't touch us. Everyone in the (albeit hardworking) cast tried their best, but tried too hard. We felt like they were always screaming at us.
We have been admirers of Ms. McDonald, but felt Gypsy is not a role for her, her voice unsuited to this role. (Again, we felt she was screaming "please love me in this role" all evening.)
Gypsy has a great score (Kudos to the orchestra), but does it really need to be revived again?
Sets and costumes were mid.
Unfortunately, this Gypsy left us unsatisfied."

Just seems...unnecessary and old-fashioned
"The cast is undoubtedly talented. The but the choice to mount this show and the design choices for costumes, blocking, SET (oh the set...just blah) were just very outdated and stale. Also, I love Audra, but if your character's name is descending in lights...you need to belt the last note of the song. "

Wonky 2nd act and closing
"I wanted to LOVE this. After all, Audra McDonald, the Grande Dame of Broadway headlined. But, the guttural more earthy essence of Rose was lost in a beautifully refined and polished voice. Also, the second act fizzled. I know the ending notoriously has caused previous productions troubles. I hope they re-work it. I think with a keen eye to tweak and edit, this show could be so much more. I saw it during the first week of previews so there is plenty of time to make it shine! "
