How Joy Woods Became a ‘Gypsy’ Superfan
On the Stagecraft podcast, Joy Woods talks about how she became a superfan of "Gypsy" and what it's like to work opposite Audra McDonald.
The actor Joy Woods never thought much about “ Gypsy ” — at least not until she was cast in the show opposite Audra McDonald in one of the buzziest Broadway revivals of the season. Woods described the story as “so much truth hitting you in the face over and over again.” It’s a production “told through an African American lens,” she added, but to her mind, many of the staging choices made to reflect those nuances are only recognized by Black audience members. Also on the new “Stagecraft,” Woods talked about the thrill of working closely with McDonald, one of Broadway’s most beloved and award-winning stars, as well as learning to enjoy a strip-tease and getting her six-second costume change just right.
