US EditionPatti LuPone Reveals Audra McDonald Is “Not a Friend” Anymore
- Patti LuPone revealed in a May 26 New Yorker profile that she and Audra McDonald are no longer friends after a long-ago falling out.
- Their longstanding discord reportedly began over two decades ago, with the two having previously collaborated in a concert production of Sweeney Todd with the New York Philharmonic in 2000 and later in a 2007 LA Opera staging.
- LuPone declined to elaborate on the reasons for their split and avoided commenting directly when asked about McDonald's current role as Rose in Gypsy.
- LuPone said, “She’s not a friend,” and responded to a question on McDonald’s show with 15 seconds of silence before saying, “What a beautiful day.”
- This revealed tension contrasts with McDonald’s Tony nomination for Gypsy, highlighting long-standing discord despite their shared theatrical history.
