It’s very exciting to hear that one of my favorites is taking on the role of Mama Rose. I could easily say one of our favorites. It’s a bit sad that we won’t be there to witness her interpretation.
For the 2003 revival, Bernadette Peters made her entrance down the orchestra aisle, stopping by Burt’s seat.
Shortly after that, she made an entrance, again stopping next to Burt, at Daniel’s. Her destination for that Thanksgiving dinner was a private room and therefore grander than our little table. But near.
We have seen a lot of Audra McDonald over the years. From Ragtime to an NYE at Lincoln Center, everything she did was a treat.
That is not to say that we have seen enough. So, as I said, I am sorry to miss her in Gypsy. Her performances were always clear and poignant. I know she’ll give Rose a memorable spin.
