""Gypsy” is a solid theatrical experience marked by strong performances and engaging music. McDonald delivers a commendable portrayal of Mama Rose, showcasing her vocal talent throughout the show. While there are a few lulls in pacing, the humor embedded in the script keeps the audience entertained. The storyline is interesting, focusing on the complexities of ambition and family dynamics, which adds depth to the characters. Overall, the production balances moments of levity with poignant themes, making it a worthwhile watch for fans of musical theater."

"The show is a bit long. A few musical numbers could have been cut and not disturb the flow of the production. Other than that, the acting and singing was awesome. Audra is such a talent!"

"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."

"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! "
