My name is Roman. I'm 61 years of age, born on November 11, 1961 and a native born Texan. I first saw Miss Patti in concert at the Paramount Theatre (Austin) in 1996. I finally got to meet her in person at the same theatre in November 2000. I've met her also in Dallas (2001), San Francisco(July 2001: spoke with her briefly as she left in her limousine).. met her backstage in Houston, Texas (November 2003), saw her perform in "Regina" in March 2005 in D.C. and last saw her in her dressing room at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre (March 2006) following her performance in "Sweeny." Most recently, I traveled to NYC in May 2007 to see "Avenue Q", "Drowsy Chaperone", "A Chorus Line" and saw the fabulous Angela Lansbury in "Deuce." Both Angela and Marian Seldes were delightful at the stage door. Most recently, I had the wonderful chance to see Miss Patti backstage in Dallas (on January 22, 2008) when she performed her "Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda" show on the SMU campus. She was a "doll." Next stop, NYC.. and "Gypsy" on June 10, 2008. I most recently saw Miss Patti in San Antonio, Texas after her "An Evening With Patti LuPone and Mandy Patinkin". She is coming to Austin in March 2010. I have my tickets.
During my last trip to NYC in June 2010, I saw: "La Cage Aux Folles, "Addams Family" and "Dietrich and Chevalier." In March 2011, I saw "Lombardi", "Priscilla Queen of the Desert", "Wicked" and "Chicago." I can safely say that "Chicago" is now my FAVORITE musical. I just saw Terra McLeod (Velma) and Tracy Shayne (Roxie) in the national tour of "Chicago" in Fort Worth, TX (6 18 2011). Then, I saw "Chicago" once more the following weekend in Houston. Now, "Chicago" is my favorite musical. I saw: "Chicago" on June 8, 2013; "The Nance" on Sat. June 9th and also "Pippin." Finally, I saw "Vanya, Sonia, Masha and Spike" on Sun. June 10, 2013. I LOVED Pippin. It was so magical!

Celia Nightengale returned recently from maternity leave. Rachel Chase is set to return as well sometime in May. Speaking of Billy Flynn, Max Von Essen's turn as Billy Flynn finishes in July. I would love to see Nick Adams have a chance as the slick lawyer. Another veteran Billy Flynn who is amazing is Jason Danieley.

Has Anyone Read “ Murder at the Adelphi: A rehearsal diary of the original London production of the musical ‘Sunset Boulevard’”? Apr 25
2024, 10:10:54 PM
I was hoping for more Patti than there was. In the book, Pete Gale discusses how the ensemble members were upset that they lost out on $$$ because the leading lady wouldn't approve a money offer for a Sunset documentary. Gale also recounts how there was ill will about how the principals were asking for a huge amount regarding a cast recording. He wasn't clear about how much money the ensemble would up getting. It probably wasn't much. The higher

TAMMY FAYE will transfer to Broadway in 2024-2025 Season Apr 15
2024, 05:31:52 AM
Tammy Faye may or may not have been complicit in the financial dealings of Jim Bakker. She did have a side of her that was praiseworthy. At a time when most evangelicals in the 80s were openly condemning of the gay community during the AIDS crisis, Tammy Faye supported victims of the plague. https://www.intomore.com/entertainment/film/exclusive-clip-tammy-faye-bakker-queer-ally/

Bianca and AFW retire already ladies from Chicago, enough! AFW is old to be playing Velma still!
