Tony Award record-breaker Audra McDonald spoke candidly with The Daily Beast about everything from her refusal to be “boxed in” to racism. “I don’t think we can go back to before where you had only one sort of culture of stories being told.'
. She has had award-nominated big-screen roles in. Forthcoming films include the comedyMy work. That’s one thing as a kid where my parents found I would focus. So that’s always been the treatment for me.“I don’t want to be in boxed in in any part of my professional life,” McDonald told The Daily Beast of a career spanning so many media, genres, and forms. “I was hyperactive as a child, and I have ADHD as an adult. I have many different interests.
Because her show is short, McDonald pops over when it’s done to Swenson’s theater where his has just reached intermission, and where a show not ends in stunned silence but confetti cannons. “Our jobs are so weird. We are so lucky to do what we do for a living,” McDonald told The Daily Beast. “At the same time they’re extraordinarily taxing roles for very different reasons. As in marriage, you have to give and take.
Sally’s arrival was “very much” a surprise. “We already had a pretty strong family bond with all of us, and Sally really became the last bit of superglue. It’s hard on her because her siblings are older. She’s like, ‘Why do they have to go sleep at their school? Why can’t they be at home?’ That part is hard, but they all have a really healthy appetite for theater and are very talented theatrically. I don’t know if any of them will pursue it. They have spent their lives backstage seeing shows.
As well as the possibility of Mama Rose, she would “love” to play Lady Macbeth one day, McDonald said.When I retire I just want to take care of elephants and sheep and goats and dogs and dolphins. There’s something about being in such close proximity to that purity that moves me so much.Does she ever consider retirement? “What I want to do when I retire—and my husband makes fun of me of this—is… well, I love animals so much,” McDonald said, laughing.
