The Broadway revival featuring Audra McDonald will conclude its run at the Majestic Theatre on August 17, following 28 previews and 269 performances. Initially open-ended, the show was unexpectedly closed ahead of previously announced ticket sales until October 3. The fifth revival of the musical featured a notable casting choice with McDonald as Rose, who received her 11th Tony Award nomination, marking her as the most-nominated performer in history. The production also highlighted a significant representation with a Black performer in the iconic role.
"There's a specific Blackness to McDonald's magnificently acted Rose as well," Time Out New York's Adam Feldman wrote in his review, making it a Critic's Pick. "This Rose has a defiant pride and an aspiration to higher class, and they come together in McDonald's performance."
McDonald's turn as Rose earned her a record-setting 11th Tony Award nomination, making her the most-nominated performer in Tony Awards history. With six wins, she is also the most awarded performer in Tony Awards history.
