Two More Days Till "Gypsy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"


                       Miss Audra McDonald and Company had better be quaking in their boots, because The Raving Queen is coming, and if Miss Almighty Audra is not there, I will walk out and demand a refund.



                          Just look at this shot, darlings.  I can tell it is the end scene.  First thing, in other productions of "Gypsy," they face stage left, and exit that way.  So now they are going to do it stage right?  Why???????????????



                            Second, just look at Audra.  For a nuanced actress, every scene I have seen from the show has her playing the entire thing with this perpetual scowl.  What is that all about??????????



                              I was really disappointed with Bernadette Peters in 2003, and I fear the same for 2025. Bernadette did not have a long run, which did not surprise me, but the closing was a blessing, because it saved her voice, which would have burned out if she had done it for a year.



                              I fear the same for Audra.  And I will report on everything I see.



                               Get your act at the Majestic together, girls!  The Raving Queen is on his way.


                                This show is very important to the gay community, and I will tell you why.



                                 How many of us, when young, looked into a mirror, and, like Louise does, said--



                                  "Mama....I'm a pretty girl, Mama."



                                  Theater Queens like their "Gypsy" well done.  So, get it together, girls!!!!!!!!!!!!!
