They can revive Gypsy ever year and I wouldn't care. With shows like Cry Baby and Grease on Broadway, I'm going to take all the truly great musical theatre I can get!

I liked Peter's interpration of Mama Rose and I like LuPone's just as much. However, I think this revival of Gypsy has powerhouse acting all around and is, overall, a better production.

One of the things I found most exciting about Patti's Tony performance of ECUR was how well she photographed. Up close, her wild, determined face perfectly conveyed Rose's deranged obsession. And Benanti was also great - she looked confused and terrified.

This deserves to be taped and broadcast.

And I'd love to see Patti as MEDEA.

So my bro called me last night, asking what I was doing.

ME:
I'm watching the Tonys.

HE:
*groan*
Why aren't you watching the Celtics? They haven't won a championship since 1986.

ME:
Yeah, well, Patti LuPone hasn't won a Tony since 1980.

HE:
Who?

ME:
You know, Corky's mother. (We used to love LIFE GOES ON as kids.)

HE:
Oh. Well, I don't think people are going to be rioting the streets if she wins.

ME:
Maybe not. But the BWW boards will be one big giant meltdown if she loses.

ME:
Whatever. Commercial's over. Gotta go.

Broadwayjules... we should meet for coffeee and calmly talk this out.

I'm afraid if we resolve your "different Patti view" on the BWW boards, I might reach into the computer and shove Stew's funny glasses up your bum.

I can't stand ignorant morons sometimes.

Yes, that includes you Roscoe. Her singing is like "yelling" ?? LOL

you must have not seen WICKED, RENT, or SPRING AWAKENING ?

Dude, it's just an opinion. Yeah. Her singing sounds like yelling. Except when it doesn't. It didn't when I saw SWEENEY TODD, and it didn't last night.

Of course it's just an opinion. But all you do is come on here when there's a SUNDAY thread, so you can bash it.

Try commenting on other things too.

I did comment on other things. I do comment on other things. I commented on Patti, for example. Does that count as another thing?

Get a grip.

Don't be so grumpy, Mr. Grumpy

SUNDAY was absolutely brilliant. Patti was amazing. End of story.

SUNDAY is a good play in a really dreadfully bad production.

Ms. Lupone was quite good on last night's Tonys.

End of story, my opinions part of it at least.

Did you even see GYPSY?

As I say... do not judge a show (or performer) until you see the show.

Frankly, Kelli O'Hara's "A Wonderful Guy" rendition won me over and moved me more than Patti LuPone's belting in "Everything's Coming Up Roses."

I did not see Ms. Lupone in GYPSY. I never said I had seen Ms. Lupne's performance in GYPSY.

The only judgments I have passed on her performance have come from having seen assorted clips which confirmed my worst suspicions about her performance.

I saw her performance on the Tonys last night, which was, as I have posted above, most impressive.

Goodness, you Patti fans are a fierce lot.

""SUNDAY was absolutely brilliant. Patti was amazing. End of story. ""

See, this isn't a discussion, this is telling someone they're wrong. Roscoe was giving an OPINION...they even said Sunday was a good play they just didn't care for the production and that Patti was good last night, seeing your side and giving an opinion. I can't stand the "any differing view from my own is wrong" mentality.
