Gypsy Cancels Christmas Day Performance on Broadway

The Broadway revival of 'Gypsy', directed by George C. Wolfe and starring six-time Tony winner Audra McDonald, has faced multiple performance cancellations due to illness within the company. The most recent cancellation occurred on December 25, following a prior cancellation on December 23, with both announcements made via social media. McDonald, who has revealed that she caught a cold affecting the cast, emphasized the challenges posed by the illness. Despite the setbacks, the production has plans to ensure understudies are prepared for upcoming performances, which are scheduled to resume on December 26. 'Gypsy' opened to positive reviews at the Majestic Theatre on December 19 and includes a talented cast featuring Danny Burstein and Joy Woods. The show's narrative, based on the memoirs of Gypsy Rose Lee, explores themes of ambition and the pursuit of the American dream.
