When you've got the currently-hot career of Broadway icon Patti LuPone, you gotta know how to multitask. On the day the beloved two-time Tony Award winner paid a visit to Show People, she had already had an early-morning filming on the set of Glee and a rehearsal at New York City Ballet for her upcoming appearance in Seven Deadly Sins. Despite the busy day, LuPone was in high spirits as she chatted with host Paul Wontorek about the the Kurt Weill rarity, the recent artistically-satisfying-yet-commercially-disappointing run of the musical Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown (thankfully preserved on the upcoming Ghostlight Records CD), her must-read memoir and her festive summer vacation plans (man soup, anyone?). Ladies and gentlemen, the one and only Patti LuPone!

I love Patti! Who could hate her?? She's brutally honest which I love

@Ninafan68 4 года назад

Me. "Hate" would be too strong of a word. But as an actress and a person, I don't feel any vulnerability in her. She just looks like a bitch. And she wrote bitchy things about Barbra Streisand and Glen Close. And that tantrum she threw on stage ("Who do you think you are?"). Hugh.... She makes me cringe. And that voice.... That husky sound. She forces her voice to sing out of her range just to prove that she has a wider range than she actually has. Her voice sounds strained, forced. Everything is forced, manufactured. I really don't like her as a performer. And as a person, she looks scary.

@@Ninafan68 She's not a very nice person and has a colossal ego.

Just for the record.. You can take what you want from interviews with Patti, Sorry Ms LuPone However as a young 18yr old I had the privilege of working with Ms Lupone in Les Mis when I was part of the ensamble both at the Barbican and in the West End way back in 1985,,,,, I have only good memories of this amazing lady and an amazing time

@carolynsilverberg3217 10 лет назад

YES. Bring the orchestra back to the pit for the Tonys. Absolutely horrible they're banished to a different location.

@musicaltheatergeek79 9 лет назад

Carolyn Silverberg The Oscars have done the same thing since 2013. The ceremony takes place at the Dolby Theatre, but the orchestra is housed at Capitol Records a mile away, where they perform their their live and pre-recorded duties from afar. It's really sad, like they're personas non grata: "You can perform in the show but you can't be in it."

"(Lloyd Webber) Doesn't edit". LuPone hit the nail on the head as to why Lover Never Dies failed so badly.

God, this woman knows how to tell a story. I want her to write another book. More specifically about Webber. Anything where she was slamming him was perfection.

Oh what I would give to meet Patti. I want to see her in a show sooo badly. I've only done theatre for 6 years and I've done Les Mis twice, and I always think of Patti when "I Dreamed a Dream" is performed. I'm doing Gypsy this year and she will always come to mind. She's such a versatile actress and she makes every role her own. She's incredible.

@wotan10950 9 лет назад

She is certainly an original! Genius talent. I first saw her way back in Evita; even then it was too loud. Agree completely about the orchestra. But disagree about Times Square. That place used to be a dangerous pit, filled with porn shops, porn theaters, drug addicts. It may be a little too Disney now, but it's light years better. But I enjoy Patti in anything she does.

@sabberdab 12 лет назад

I agree with Patti- the performers on stage can't hear! Put the orchestra back in the pit! Trust me the audience at home can tell the performers can't hear! Many of us are NOT tone deaf! We can read body language too! Why would you change a good thing? If it ain't broke don't fix it! Problem is when you tried to fix it you broke it! Put the orchestra back in the pit!

@traod8 13 лет назад

I agree that Evita is ALW's best score. I like a lot of his other work, but there's a lot that I don't care for either. It's the same with any composer, really...some are good, some aren't.

@TheDylanbailey1996 11 лет назад

GreatBroadwayFan no she is not. She, in my opinion is the definition of a true performer. But her and Andrew Lloyd Webber aren't friends and she won't beat around the bush when talking about him. She acts to push her boundarys now not for a living. I respect that.

@bway_car08 6 лет назад

@alexisgrey3633 5 лет назад

He screwed her over during sunset Boulevard dropping her in the Broadway casting replacing her with Glen Close, it had a profound effect on her.

@lavalamp625 12 лет назад

Ya know they probably are doing something differently with the orchestra for the Tony's cause it's broadcasted and they want the best sound for the video, which I think would make sense but the Tony's has such a record of bad mike problems which should definitely be better locked in

@samozeck9470 3 года назад

@lukeevans5427 9 лет назад

The moment that Patti Lupone completely flamed Andrew Lloyd Webber was probably the greatest moment of my life. I agree with her, I hate Andrew Lloyd Webber's music. Evita and Phantom are the only good things he's ever done. Joseph is tolerable. Cats, Jesus Christ Superstar, Starlight Express; all of these are trash.

@vcabrera5396 8 лет назад

Someone agrees! Maybe it's not all 'trash' but Evita and Phantom are by far the best. Cats is super weird. The plot is just plain odd. And why are people on roller skates 'trains'? I thought they were still people.

@LadyHawke78 8 лет назад

"He writes crap music..." LOLOLOLOLOL!! Lloyd-Webber just got LuP0wn3d. It was GLORIOUS!!!! (Even though I really DO like Evita and Superstar...)

@jacksonkamiska 8 лет назад

I LOOOOVE Sunset Boulevard and Evita. That's it probably

@henryanderson6752 5 лет назад

Luke Evans I half agree. I love Evita, Phantom, Superstar and Cats. Evita and Phantom are the best, Superstar is a fun rock album, and Cats just has nice music and an overall ‘British’ feel to it. But never mention Love Never Dies.

@RobinGoodFellovv 5 лет назад

Was Andrew Lloyd Weber's daughter already working at Broadway.com when Patti LuPone declared that her father wrote "crap" music?

I think Webber writes some wonderful songs, but she has a point about there being a lot of dross in his musicals.

@jvanness90 7 лет назад

Did she know that the show she was in was an adaptation? She keeps harping on the fact that it's original material. Original material. Idk, just kind of bugged me a bit.

@liquiddiamonds2702 5 лет назад

Its original music, not a jukebox musical. Based on a non musical movie.

@pmcmahon2493 9 лет назад

I love Patti, I respect Patti, but she's always hit or miss with me in interviews. She's either like this - down to earth and fun. Or she comes off extremely cold and pretentious.

@L-O-L-za 5 лет назад

I think it depends on the interviewer and the questions. If it's more biographical she's like this, if it's societal she gets more angry.

@jacksonkamiska 8 лет назад

I'd be bitter towards Webber if he did to me what he did to her

@MartyMusic777 7 лет назад

Charlie Kaine Lloyd Webber was HORRIBLE to her, both in Evita and especially Sunset Boulevard, especially given how much more popular she made the shows in her phenomenal performances. She has every right to dislike him.

@nikavance9453 6 лет назад

Nope. Patti Lupone made Evita what it is today. It was thanks to her (and Mandy's) gorgeous talent, dry wit, amazing voice and commitment to the part that Evita achieved the success it achieved. If it was a Elena Roger who originated this part, Evita would end in the Woman in White limbo.

@GreatBroadwayFan 11 лет назад

She's so fantastic and such a great singer, but she's really rude and from what I've heard, she's a total diva. Can anyone confirm that for me?

@jcomments8 11 лет назад

This guy is the worst interviewer ever. Watch his body language--foot shaking and appearing expressionless and bored to tears during most of her answers. He says he gets nervous interviewing her but if you watch the way he conducts the interview, he isn't nervous at all. I don't care what he loves or hates--he is annoying. I want to hear what Patti loves and feels... And why is it "amazing" that Patti would drink a beer alone (he meant "weird")? Is it respectful to say that to your guest?
