Yea!

I know it's a spolier, but I'm so happy for her!

Ha?

That bitch. Ann Miller totally deserved that award.

[Albin]

Did she kill whomever was nominated from Spring Awakening?

I used to stay up until 3am to watch the long version of the EVITA commercial and I'm lucky I got to see that perf. :)

Ha! And you all thought Christine Ebersole would win!

Patti who?

[wonderwaiter]

Posted: 6/10/07 at 11:46pm

Patti Lapone. She's some young upstart who thinks she's worthy in a category with Ann Miller and Sandy Duncan. There'll be no living with her now.

I can't really see a future for her in theatre.

It's so sad.

Maybe she can find some work in television.

It was just a sympathy award given to her because of last year's blantant error.

OK, latest rumor around the theatre is that Ben Vereen and Usher read the wrong name on the envelope because they were drunk a la Marisa Tomei way back when.

Considering Usher couldn't even pronounce "Ebersole" this is a good possibility. But I have more faith in Ben Vereen. He can read.

Oh Christ, did you see her acceptance speech? She sounded like Corky (oh wait, that hasn't happened yet.)

You know Miller deserved that.
I'm hunting down Lapine and stabbing her in face.

But we all know she's just gonna get stuck in this Evita rut and never amount to anything, thank God!

Well, maybe now she'll get a part on Law & Order...

[wonderwaiter]

Ten bucks says she ends up showing her ta-tas in a slasher pic a few years down the road.

She should replace Angela Lansbury as Mrs.Lovett, I mean, yes she is a bit too young for the role but she has a hell of a voice.

[Raviolisun]

I like this lady already!

[MTVMANN]

Posted: 6/11/07 at 2:11am

Maybe she should team up with ALW again!!!!!!

[Bettyboy72]

Back when she had a waistline and a soul-gosh I miss those old Patty days.

[Andante]

Posted: 6/11/07 at 11:54am

You know, I've heard some people say that she'd make a great Reno in a revival of "Anything Goes"...but her in taps is not a pretty thing to think about.

[TheatreDiva90016]

Posted: 6/11/07 at 11:57am

Hmmmmm,

She may have a diction problem with 'Anything Goes'...

All those consonants.

and little did we know a bad actress from Michigan was gonna reprise her role for a movie years later. Don't Cry For Me, Patti...

ps: that performance of A New Argentina is one of the best ever on the Tonys

Patti won it again? She's been winning the Tony for the same role for DECADES now. Shut UP, Patti LuPone!

[TheatreDiva90016]

Posted: 6/11/07 at 5:06pm

She will NOT shut up!


She'd like to know where you are so she can come over and kick your @ss.
