In portraying Momma Rose in the Shaw Festival’s long-awaited musical, Gypsy, Kate Hennig joins a slew of legendary actors who have taken on the much-coveted role, including Ethel Merman, Bette Midler and Bernadette Peters.She’s been called a monster and the stage mother from hell. She’s loud, brash and overbearing, fiercely determined to turn her young daughters into stars.
“Rose is pretty messed up psychologically,” Hennig admits. “She loves her children, but she’s also not afraid of pimping them, basically. But this was a time where it was almost impossible for a single mother to make any money and she’s out there, trying to keep food on the table.” Rose is a huge and daunting role. But Kate has thrown herself into it with her usual extraordinary courage and skill and heart.The intervening time and the stress of the pandemic have left her with, in her words, a “gentler” approach to the role. “I feel less that I have to knock it out of the park and more that my objective is to discover it,” she says.
