Unparalleled in the breadth and versatility of her artistry as both a singer and an actress, Audra McDonald has won a record-breaking six Tony Awards — including awards in all four acting categories — as well as two Grammys and an Emmy. Her recent “stupendously affecting” turn as Mama Rose in Gypsy (The New York Times) was widely praised for its visceral and emotionally complex interpretation, with the Los Angeles Times calling it “if not a religious experience, then a spiritually transfiguring one.”

Beyond Broadway, she has had major roles on The Gilded Age and The Good Fight, among other TV series and films.

McDonald’s commanding presence and magnetic connection with audiences make every concert feel both grand and personal. She returns for her ninth UMS appearance since her 2000 debut.
