Breaking News: AFTER MIDNIGHT to Close on Broadway in Late June — Page 5

According to this Vulture profile, she comes out between shows. It's a fun read, BTW. And they even cover the Aretha Franklin shade incident. Spoiler: Patti's praying for Aretha.


VULTURE: Patti LaBelle on Performing in After Midnight, Young Singers, and Divas of Her Own Generation

It wasn't on tkts tonight. Ended up at Rocky which I really enjoyed.

It was a great audience . They were on fire. There was a whole bunch of Marines. The guy Obama gave the medal to last week; William Kyle Carpenter; was in the audience and they brought him up to the ring after the curtain call. The rear sides of the orchestra and mezzanine had about 2 or 3 empty rows. I was in row E on the center side aisle and I got my ticket at 630 at the booth.

BTW. : the guys from on the town were shooting something at the booth. That Tony Yazbeck is a hottie. Not overly friendly to this queen ... But a hottie.

Probably PJ. I'm not reading anything into it. Just how he was at the moment. He could sit on my lap and I will give him a spanking.

I met Tony after seeing him in Chicago- could not have been sweeter and we actually talked for a couple minutes. Really nice guy and super talented- And i am as Gay as they come! LOL
@ DAME- What did he do?

---

Nothing really. It's what he didn't do. LOL. Seriously I just said I was a fan and that I was looking forward to On The Town. He seemed slightly annoyed and it wasn't exactly a roll of the eyes but he obviously at the moment was not receptive. I am sure he is a very nice guy.

---

Yes. And I looked FIERCE!

I was there today too, and wow, what an incredible show. The talent, the dancing, the beautiful costumes, the band. I can't believe this is closing, it's such a shame. This is an incredibly entertaining, dynamic show.

I don't know much about Patti, so when she opened her mouth, and hardly anything came out, I just thought she had a low, quiet voice. But, then she killed it at the end of her first song. Right after "Stormy Weather", she mouthed to the audience "I'm sorry" and threw up her hands. I thought it was great she still showed up, because judging by the audience, she had tons of fans. She has the most sparking, platinum white teeth I have ever seen, and she looked gorgeous in her dress.

Incredible show, see it why you can!!
