Everything Is NOT Coming Up Roses At "Gypsy!!!!!!!!!!!"

                                      I told you it would be just a matter of time, girls.

                                     Now, here is the scoop, and remember, you heard it first here, darlings.

                                     Audra McDonald will be out of "Gypsy" for three performances--February 22, 23 and 24th.  She will be back on the 25th. The reason is a death in the family, and while I am sure Audra would not lie about that, darlings and while I am sorry, it also happens to be all too convenient in order to give McDonald's voice a rest.

                                        This time, the show has its act together, and the show will go on, those days, with understudy Tryphena Wade performing the role of Rose.  I am telling you, darlings, I am just so curious to see how Tryphena handles things, because I would bet she gives Audra a run for the money.

                                         In fact, I would not be surprised if the "Funny Girl" situation repeats here.  Before you know it, Audra will be taking nights off, with Tryphena going on certain nights, just like Julie Benko did.  I hope this would do for Tryphena what it did for Julie.

                                           So, mark my words, darlings, you heard it first here.  I told you Audra could not cut it, but I never expected a repeat of the "Funny Girl:" situation.

                                             The tragedy is Audra is not talentless and a disgrace, like Beanie Feldstein!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                                She has just bitten off more than she can chew and won't admit it!!!!!!!!!!!!
