A little known fact is that in the original screenplay, Pan's Labyrinth was Pan's FLAByrinth. Hmmmmmmm...glad they changed it.

Patti LuPone.
(Sorry, I couldn't resist - I don't agree with it either I just find the senseless Patti bashing funny)
"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022)
"Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009)
"Sondheim's own favorite star performances? [Bernadette] Peters in ''Sunday in the Park,'' Lansbury in ''Sweeney Todd'' and ''obviously, Ethel was thrilling in 'Gypsy.'' Nytimes, 2000

Posted: 7/11/09 at 11:42pmIs the answer still Patti LuPone? If so, qolbinau deserves a prize for being psychic.

Someone recently sent me a list of "how many theater folks does it take to change a light bulb?" jokes.
I'll dig them up if you wnat to really see them. They are "amusing"-ish.
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?
These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

Ok, this isn't a joke, per se, and it's not really ABOUT theater so much as theater people, so it really doesn't answer the question, but I always found it very funny....
Eddie Fisher once appeared on a television program during which entertainers sought romantic, spiritual, and other miscellaneous guidance from a group of panelists (among them the noted wit George S. Kaufman). Fisher's complaint concerned a certain chorus girl who refused to go out with him on account of his age.
"Mr. Fisher," Kaufman advised, "on Mount Wilson there is a telescope that can magnify the most distant stars up to twenty-four times the magnification of any previous telescope. This remarkable instrument was unsurpassed in the world of astronomy until the development and construction of the Mount Palomar telescope - an even more remarkable instrument of magnification. Owing to advances and improvements in optical technology, it is capable of magnifying the stars to four times the magnification and resolution of the Mount Wilson telescope." Here Kaufman paused, surveying the puzzled faces around him. "Mr. Fisher," he continued, "if you could somehow put the Mount Wilson telescope inside the Mount Palomar telescope, you still wouldn't be able to detect my interest in your problem."

I heard this when A CHORUS LINE was the hottest ticket in town, but you can use any hard to get tickets for show.
An older woman was sitting alone at a matinee of A CHORUS LINE, a
The man next to her asked, "Is that seat empty"
"Oh yes", she answered, "my husband and I got these tickets months ago and he passed away."
"Oh", said the man, "Couldn't you find a friend or relative to come with you?"
"Oh no", said the woman, "they are all at the funeral".
ba dump bum.
