The musical 'Gypsy' presents a twist of cosmic irony, centering around the complex relationship between the infamous stage mother, Momma Rose, and her daughter, Louise.
With its super-singable score and sharp lyrics, 'Gypsy' remains a pinnacle of musical theater, while encompassing themes of ambition, sacrifice, and the haunting nature of fame.
Audra McDonald’s performance as Rose in the revival is a commanding force, overshadowing her co-stars and serving as a reminder of the enduring complexity and depth of the character.
The role of Rose, often compared to King Lear, exemplifies the tragic irony where a mother's drive for her daughter's success ultimately leads to her own eclipse.
