Profile for scot

Elaine has had a few surgeries as of late...hip, knee, right eye. There's a reasonable chance she's on a good bit of pain meds just to feel like being up and about.

CATSNYrevival must be living under a rock...Cats a revival?

(during the "Money Song" in Call Me Madam) Merman's singing... Drunk heckler: "Yeah you can throw so money my way sweetheart...I sure could Goddamn well use a little bit of it!" Heckling went on until she stopped the show... left the stage for the orchestra seating mid isle and threw "the son-of-a-bitch on west 45th st". As per Elaine Stritch-At Liberty DVD.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGoSc8HS2WE&feature=channel_page I was a little late knowing about this. Too funny!

Elaine at the Carlyle... you could only wish that dinner and show would be $79. That would be your bar tab only!

She usually takes her vacation Aug. or Sept. Anyone heard how long her run in the show may be?

Yes some actors are all smiles and enthusiastic about the masses at the stage door... but there are some that don't like it and make their 'tude about it very obvious. I know a few.

This was a very well staged production. The actors as musicians... I loved their facial expressions and staying-in-character while playing the various instruments. Raul was great but most of the cast were very strong in their roles.

Anyone heard if the newest production of Company will tour? Just saw the latest revivial, with Esparza, on NetFlix... wow! This revamped production needs a good Equity tour.

Why would anyone "hate" Patti LuPone?

Interesting replies. I tend to believe that maybe some of her ashes were put around the theaters she worked at...and possibly it's true that her urn of ashes is kept by her friend. Now the ghost stories at Sardi's gets a little crazy.

Wikipedia says that her ashes were scattered along Broadway. I had never heard this and just wondered if anyone else knew of this as a fact or legend.

LUPONE ...he smiled...

Anyone see her show there recently?

In my collection of cast recordings, I have both lps and cds. Can anyone tell me if the cd version of the Hair B'way cast album is remastered and sounds alot better than the lp? I assume a cd version will be better but there are some dull areas listening to it on vinyl that I believe would be more pronounced and clear in a digital remaster on cd.

Madonna vs. Patti LuPone singing the score of Evita??? Well whomever thinks Madonna can get those keys, do that score better than LuPone...are definately in a very minority of personal opinion. And so glad that type of musical theater fan found BWW...you're definately in the right place to post such an opinion.

Well thanks. Sorry it was crowded and rushed after the show trying to get to the Q&A. We met Patti after that and she was nice enough to sign my Sunset Boulevard CD. Of course she was the best thing ALW ever did with that musical! But she was funny at the Q&A. Some bozo referred to her show as "cabaret" and she went off on him. Then he tried to smooth it over by saying he read that reference in the local paper. Patti replied "do you believe everything you read in the newspaper?!". She did not...

I attended the student's Q&A with Patti last night after her incredible 2-act show. Patti: "Andrew Lloyd Webber will not change keys for anybody... but Madonna!" She was discussing the difficult keys and the strain on her voice in Evita. And PattiLuPoneFANatic, I saw you last night, sorry I didn't get a chance to say hello. Seemed liked everyone I knew in Dallas was there. Best show I've seen her do. She should keep her CouldaWouldaShoulda concert with piano only. Just brilliant! What about t...

This weekend... absolutely beautiful in all aspects. I had seen her in "Annie Get Your Gun" but this was the first solo concert of her's I have attended. Her "It Might As Well Be Spring" and "No One Is Alone" are perfect and nobody sings "Being Alive" like Bernadette Peters. We got to a reception afterwards to meet her which was also a first for me. She's drop-dead gorgeous inside and out. Very friendly and genuine. I couldn't believe that I was chatting with her about rescue dogs. I know alo...

Huh! What has the love and appreciation of live theater come to when a patron would ask for a refund because Elphie didn't defy gravity? Those "patrons" should just play it safe and stay home with their DVd players. Geez! And also... they should not be allowed a refund due to a stage set malfunction that had no real significance to the acting and music that makes a show like Wicked so special.
