In no particular order
1. Wicked
2. The Wedding Singer
3. The Phantom of the Opera
4. Cats
5. Wonderful Town (I thought to throw that one in would be interesting, I absolutely love Comden, Green, and Bernstein but that show just bores me)

5 favorite books?
In all honesty, I'm not much of a reader but...
1. Last of the Really Great Whangdoodles (I think that's the name, I haven't read it in ages though it was my favourite book as a child. And it was written by Julie Andrews, which is a plus.)
2. 1984
3. Death of a Salesman
4. Oleanna (I did a monologue from it a while ago, it was one of the hardest things I've ever done. It holds a special place in my heart...)
5. Macbeth
And, special for you:
Favorite Patti quote?
This is from my favourite interveiw with her, ever.
"Wait, I've got to know if that's a girl or a guy, " she says. She assesses two taut and tan women who look like tennis pros at the table behind us as transsexuals. "Holy ****ing ****!" LuPone says. "Maybe they're all transsexuals. My eyes are going like this, " she says, grabbing her glasses and zooming them in and out on the trannies. "I'm not even listening to you anymore, " she says before belting out another "Ha! Ha! Ha!"
Patti song?
Right now, Anne’s Lament from To Hell and Back and Heatwave from… Heatwave
Patti show?
Hm… I can’t pick one! Maybe Gypsy
Theatre is a safe place to do the unsafe things that need to be done.
