Sponsor me as I walk the Philadelphia AIDS Walk - Sunday, October 16, 2011. Many of our friends, family and neighbors are in desperate need of health care services and other life-saving programs, but with cutbacks in government dollars , these programs are often under-funded. Now, more than ever, your donations are needed to support organizations providing HIV/AIDS awareness, prevention education, counseling and testing and care services for people living with HIV/AIDS. http://www.aidswalkphilly.org/users/index.php/profile/detail/186643

On the sidebar, I saw "Ghostlight to record Le..." and I thought it was going to say Les Miserables. But this is better!

Permission from Patti wasn't granted?

Hm...

Isn't the story that not only was permission not granted, LuPone had her lawyers file a cease and desist order against the show?

I don't blame LuPone - its one thing to recreate the act for a one weekend gig in NYC but once you begin to tour it and start making money - I wouldn't be cool with it.

According to Kritzer, LuPone had the production shut down, so yes, a cease and desist order was filed.

I believe she did give her consent at the beginning, no?

She did, and her permission was asked every time they set up a new performance (ie, SF). She just got tired of the parody, I guess.

I think it had more to do with money than the parody.

Or maybe she was tired of hearing Leslie overshoot every other note.

"Rainbow Sharp" and "Meadowsharp" were particularly offensive.

There was NO cease and desist order. Nothing so dramatic. And nothing to do with money (or someone's bitchy idea of sharping).

Patti's approval was granted at every step of the journey, and after San Francisco, everyone decided the journey was over.

Sometimes the better part of gracefulness is knowing how to quit while you're ahead.

Thats good to hear Pal -- the rumours have been nasty - but I'm sure everyone was just excited about the possibility of Miss Patti giving us one last diva tantrum (ah the SUNSET BOULEVARD days).

And I'm excited that the journey is over and now Kritzer can do new shows. Like Leslie Kritzer is Bette Midler at the Continental Baths!
