Watch: Audra McDonald Sings 'Some People' From Broadway's Gypsy

2025 Tony nominee and six-time Tony winner Audra McDonald came to The Late Show With Stephen Colbert May 22 to perform "Some People" from Gypsy, and you can watch the entire performance above!

Directed by George C. Wolfe, the revival opened at the Majestic Theatre December 19, 2024, where it is continuing its run. Tickets are currently on sale through October 5. With her 11th Tony nomination, McDonald is currently making history as the most Tony-nominated performer of all time (along with her previous record of being the most Tony-awarded performer in Tony history).

Along with McDonald as Rose and fellow 2025 Tony nominees Danny Burstein as Herbie and Joy Woods as Louise, the cast is led by Jordan Tyson as June, Kevin Csolak as Tulsa, Lesli Margherita as Tessie Tura, Lili Thomas as Miss Mazeppa, Mylinda Hull as Miss Electra, Jacob Ming-Trent as Uncle Jocko, Kyleigh Denae Vickers as Baby Louise, and Marley Lianne Gomes and Jade Smith as Baby June. Tryphena Wade is the standby for Rose.

The revival is up for five 2025 Tony Awards including Best Revival of a Musical. McDonald's nomination for Leading Actress in a Musical was a historic one. The 11th in her career, the nomination made McDonald the most Tony-nominated actor in history. A win would be historic, too, as her six wins have already made her the most Tony-winning Actor in history. Winners will be named June 8 at Radio City Music Hall, in a ceremony hosted by Cynthia Erivo and broadcasting live on CBS and streaming via Paramount+.

Gypsy, based on the mostly fictional memoir of famed burlesque performer Gypsy Rose Lee, features a book by Arthur Laurents and songs with music by Jule Styne and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim. The show is one of Broadway's favorites to revive. Since premiering in 1959, the show has returned to Broadway in 1974, starring Angela Lansbury; 1989, starring Tyne Daly; 2003, starring Bernadette Peters; and 2008, starring Patti LuPone. The work has been filmed three times: a 1962 feature film starring Rosalind Russell, a 1993 TV film starring Bette Midler, and a filmed stage performance of a 2015 London revival starring Imelda Staunton.
