Munk, I think that puffiness was Sarah Brighman's fault.

doodle, that ensemble from the 1980 Tony Awards is legendary. Especially the knot at the top of her head.

My favorite comment under Grammy Patty is This is when the Grammies were GREAT. Not like? the crap we've scene the last few years.

So... Give the Grammys back to Patti! ?

Seriously, that ensemble is SO "Lipstick"!

Doesnt matter, she got a standing O...didnt Chris Cross win 15 grammys that year?

Ah, when music was muzak!

PRS, maybe they should have Patti perform all the nominated songs. Like that year Beyonce sang them all on the Oscars.

givesmevoice, didn't we have some fun with that outfit in another forum a few years back?

I don't know! It never ceases to amuse me. And give me second-hand embarrassment.

That was a great performance, though.

Interesting interview. Was Ken Bloom the moderator?

That's why I posted it, Reg...perhaps the best I've ever heard it sung and she acted it beautifully which cant be easy at the Grammys.

I'll buy the audio book if and only if it is read by Christine Pedi.

Patti is the female version of Arthur Laurents-that is why they don't get along! I'd like to buy the audiobook, but I want to see the pictures.

Doodle, I've always been torn between that one and the one from "Starfest."
Don't Cry for Me, either

Posted: 6/24/10 at 2:11pm

I think I might prefer the one from Starfest, but probably because the outfit isn't nearly as terrible for that performance.

I wish they'd release a "read along" version with a book and a record like I had when I was a kid.

You will know it is time to turn the page when you hear the chimes ring like this. Let's begin now...

In both, it's nice to remember that she didn't always do it as such a barn burner: she begins, as does the lyric, rather hesitantly. The "Starfest" one is a beautifully cailbrated piece performance, I think.

Jordan, I LOVE that idea. Especially if she gave an in-depth description of the pictures, especially if there's one with someone she had some feud with.

"You will know it is time to turn the page when you hear the chimes ring like this. Let's begin now..."

Except, with the Patti version, it'd be her yelling, "TURN THE GODDAMN PAGE"

[Jordan Catalano]

You will know it is time to turn the page because I'LL F*CKING TELL YOU IT IS!

"THREE TIMES. I asked you to turn it THREE TIMES."

I dont know how I've missed these!!

Kad, I have tears in my eyes I'm laughing so hard.

What would be even better is if this were a pop up book. With tabs you can pull, that sorta stuff.

Ljay- Is Women on the Verge confirmed to be a limited run? I can't find any information about how long it's supposed to run.

Since this is a Patti LuPone thread I'd thought I'd bring up something that really irks me. On stage, in performance at the end of "Buenos Aires", at least in all the ones I've seen, ended the word "Quality" on a high note but on the cast album she ends it on a low note that sounds like she's reaching for the bowels of hell.
I've always wondered why they didn't just record it the way it was sung on stage.
