During college, back in the late '70s, had a friend who wrote a very nice letter to Patti while she was in Evita on Broadway. He and a friend were coming to see the show, he was interested in musical theater, etc. She wrote back and invited them to come backstage to see her after the show! They had a wonderful visit with Patti, and she was most gracious with her time and advice. A true legend!
@@c.taylormorgan3668 Thank you so much! It's those little surprises that can make your day, and you have made mine! Who knows, maybe we're distantly related, 'way back in time. All the best to you, too!
One night, during Patti LuPone's run playing Mama Rose in Gypsy, a light bulb exploded during a scene set on a stage. While thankfully no one was injured, there were shards of gas scattered on the stage. Without missing a beat, she goes backstage, comes back with a push broom, and commences to clean up the shards while muttering about having to do everything herself around there! It was hilarious! 😂
I know he’s done this a bunch of other times (and might just be his regular wardrobe now) but there’s something comforting about Seth being in a sweatshirt/sweater(?) behind the desk rather than a suit and tie which tends to be more common for late night talk show hosts. Cant quite put my finger on it, but I like it.
This right here. Seth, this is a masterclass on doing a thoroughly entertaining, well-researched, delightful interview with two absolute legends. No one else in the talkshow world could do this as well as you, Seth. You made it all about Mia and Patti, and it was clear that you were knowledgeable about their amazing lives and excited about their visit. This is so rare to see on television or anywhere today. I am grateful for your talents.
@@bbcbbc1717 I feel the same. Jimmy Kimmel is great with the monologue, not a fan of the “ on location stuff “, but his delivery of the monologue is right up there. He lacks a bit of depth with his interviews, but because he is in L. A. he gets some of the best guests first. Just love Seth, and Stephen.
Patti is THE ICON! I know she had a horrible experience with Sir Andrew Lloyd Weber, but I saw her in the ORIGINAL Evita with Mandy Patankin and I will ALWAYS remember her for that more than anything else I've seen her in. she was so young, and SO powerful and amazing! She commanded that stage like she had already won 5 Tony awards! She has every right to be a little cocky.
I got to see Patti in Sunset Blvd. just before she was fired. She played it pretty straight with not much campy humor but she still managed to blow the roof off the theatre and give an unforgettable performance along with a standing ovation. Shame on Lloyd Webber!
I read somewhere that the woman taking photos who she screamed at was actually a professional photographer hired by the production. She apologized after the fact, but the recording lives on. That's why she never brings it up in interviews.
Yeah, after she's been lying to everyone about Woody Allen after defending her own brother who was a real convicted child abuser and abusing her own kids causing one to commit suicide. But yeah great to see her. Ugh! 😒
Well, one at least. The other is a lying, narcissistic sociopath who needlessly destroyed the lives of several of her kids as well as the reputation of the only director who would put her in his movies.
Nah, definitely not doing anymore now that her child molester brother she defended was paroled and released from jail and she's been emotionally abusing her kids for years.
I love Mia's performance in Allen v. Farrow actually trying to convince us Woody Allen is an abuser when she emotionally abused her own children for years. Greatest performance. 👌
@@davidfilmexpertwow. You seem to be very convinced that Woody Allen is innocent. I don’t know for sure but I did watch the documentary and her daughter…not Mia..but the daughter…seemed to indicate Woody abused her. Also, isn’t it a bit weird that Woody married his MUCH younger, adopted daughter? I guess only God knows for sure.
@@jgator6694 Oh you mean that one-sided documentary that didn't prove anything. Also do you know that Mia defended her brother who was sent to jail for molesting two boys and was paroled the day that documentary was released. You also didn't seem to watch Moses Farrow's videos where he talked about the abuse he and his siblings suffered at the hands of Mia. Do your research.
@@davidfilmexpert I wouldn’t say the documentary is “one sided”. Siblings..family friends ..all observed that Woody was “smothering” Dylan…always following her…taking her off to be alone when she wanted to play with other children…they witnessed her hiding from him when he would visit..and withdrawing emotionally when he was around. And Dylan herself recalls these events. I have done my research.
It's not hard to be a good audience member. Turn off your phone, don't crinkle your wrappers, don't drink, and do not talk or sing along. Not hard. If you can't sit through a two and a half hour show without drinking or your phone, seek help.
@@Ausgar-yc1yl You could say that again. She has no place in polite society after defending her brother convicted of child sex abuse and she's physiologically abused her own children for years.
No, that's not good advertisement for the show because then the seats will be filled with criminals. You can add your own british crime wave joke here if you're into that
Patty can't seem to get settled...feet not able to touch floor🤔.. overboard with how she/they love Seth..did like her audience story and appreciated it not being about being rude with ettiquette...and interesting outfits...esp. Mia -
It's a throwback to his bit with Wally earlier in a closer look. Wally missed putting the month in for something coming up in late September. Play it again and notice how he stressed August like he was making a point.
First I thought Mia Farrow was that women's soccer lady from the 2000s and then I went no no no no no that's the Irish actor with a nice head of hair and mustache and that's Colin Farrell so I yeah I don't know who Mia Farrow is but I like them
Mia Farrow and son are destructive whacked-out mental cases who I avoid like the plague. They need help, and we need not to be exposed to either of them which is why I refused to watch this show when aired or even this clip. Talk about "dead to me."
@@allenn.3909 I know the Equity has issues, I used to be a member. She did a big tantrum and quit a year ago, now she's back on Broadway without rejoining. What she could have done is used her power to try to fix the problems in Equity.
