SUBSCRIBER WOW: AUDRA'S TURN

Audra McDonald used the Tonys to grieve and confront.

Last weekend at the Tony’s, Audra McDonald delivered the 11 o’clock number of 11 o’clock numbers, with a version of “Rose’s Turn” from Gypsy that people cannot stop talking about. It was one of the rawest, most lacerating performances every delivered at the Tonys.

Gypsy has been performed by its leading ladies six times at the Tonys (twice by the same person). And comparing performances demonstrates just how rare and iconic was the moment that McDonald created.

Ready or not, Mr. Goldstone, here comes Rose.
