Co-starring Danny Burstein and Joy Woods, the show will have played 28 previews and 269 regular performances by the time its final curtain drops.
The show features a book by Arthur Laurents, music by Jule Styne and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim.
"[Director] George C. Wolfe's exquisite production of Gypsy managed to both capture the full integrity of the original, without changing a word, and at the same time brought a historic new level of depth with his casting the magnificent Audra McDonald," David Saint, representative for the Laurents Estate, said in a statement Wednesday.
"He shed a complex light of racial awareness on this quintessential American story, one that would make Arthur, the lifelong advocate for social justice, extremely proud."
