Not only will this Rose be played by a black actress, but it will be a black character, with black children. And, as Wolfe puts it, “race is shown, not told.” Rose’s plight—a single mother who refuses to live by the rules—is universal, regardless of race, and is the reason to make the show, in 2024 or whenever. He quotes from the show: “‘When is it my turn?’ Rose asks. Audra is a woman and she’s black and she’s going to bring all that to the table.” While this Gypsy will have an extra layer of resonance stemming from the protagonist’s identity, McDonald tells me they have no plans to change the script to fit their vision—a testament to the longevity of Sondheim’s lyrics. Before he passed away in 2021, he personally gave his blessing for her to play Rose. “I always felt very supported by him,” she said. “He was a mentor to me. He always encouraged me in a private and personal way.” Sondheim, a renowned letter writer, wrote to her quite often. “I have them all and I keep them close to my heart,” she said.
At 54, McDonald talks about the peace that comes with age, and that has become clear to her since her last Broadway musical, Shuffle Along, eight years ago. “I’m calmer now, I feel more in my body. I know who I am.” She smiles when she thinks about the surprise that came during the run of her last musical: her youngest daughter. “We thought it was menopause, but it turned out to be Sally.” Among the many differences between her and Rose, she finds an undeniable connection: “I’m a mama bear. I’m overprotective. I don’t think Rose feels separate from her daughters. I understand that instinct.”
“This woman is determined to uncover the truth of each character,” says director George C. Wolfe. Erdem coat and dress. Bvlgari High Jewelry earrings. Chloe Gosselin shoes. At the Black Cow coffee shop in downtown Croton, McDonald sips an iced matcha latte and thinks about the Roses who came before her, a long list of one-name Broadway ladies: Ethel, Angela, Tyne, Bernadette, Patti. “How do you stand up to what’s gone before you?” McDonald asks. “I’m at peace with that. None of them did it the way the rest did. So you can add one more to that pile!” Working with director George C. Wolfe, a six-time Tony winner who directed McDonald onstage in 2016’s Shuffle Along and last year’s Rustin, helped. “Audra is the living embodiment of talent, drive, and ambition, and she breaks out of the box,” Wolfe told me. “This woman is determined to uncover the truth of each character.” Joy Woods, the actress who will play Louise, grew up watching McDonald’s videos on YouTube and describes the prospect of playing opposite her now as surreal: “She becomes a conduit for any story. Her sense of surrender as a human being… you have to have a good heart for that.”
