At least two fans had a very different experience with McDonald on Sunday, Aug. 17: Oprah Winfrey and Gayle King. The longtime pals were in the audience for McDonald's final performance, greeting the actress onstage afterwards with hugs and words of affirmation.

The hardest part of Audra McDonald’s night performing Gypsy should probably be the total exorcism of self that she unveils during “Rose’s Turn,” not arriving home. A fan followed her back to her home after she didn’t stop at the stage door and sign autographs on August 16.

Audra McDonald is calling out a fan who "snuck around" and followed her "all the way to where I was staying" after a recent Broadway performance.
