Alec Baldwin in the Huffington Post: "What the World Needs Now is Patty Lupone"#1

"Where movies today all too typically use the name of a big star to draw you into a theatre, only to have special effects people take over, what happens at the St. James theatre is live. Real. It is a stage covered with remarkable actors, directed by Arthur Laurents himself, breathing new life into an old story. And, it is Patti. As I left the theatre. a young man turned to me and said, "I liked that a lot and I normally don't go to musicals." Another woman near us smiled and said, "That was no ordinary musical. That was Patti." I told the young man to consider himself lucky. "You're not likely to see that again on Broadway for a long time."

Go see Gypsy. Go see Patti LuPone, one of the great actresses of all time, give the performance of her life"

Who is Patty Lupone?

Weird as there is some loud Broadway performer named Patti LuPone.

Interesting.

haha, that ^ made me giggle.

When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain. -Kad

"I don't see that many plays, and for me, musicals are rarely pleasing. I feel the actors are being put through a kind of nightmarish labor. They're like animals being forced to pull heavy carts of vegetables at incredible speeds." --- Wallace Shawn

Anyone want to photoshop what a "Krabby Patti" might look like?

I couldn't agree more with Mr. Baldwin. I went for the student rush on July 4th and saw, from the front row, an amazing theatrical experience. These performances are top drawer!
