This is very funny. Xanadu is so smart for doing this! Good for them, I hope they win the Tony!

Oh my god. You did NOT get Patti. I love this campaign.

That video has LuPwnage written all over it!

Oh, Patti. Can't wait.

PS - is that Cynthia Nixon at the end? I wouldn't have placed it if the comments hadn't said it. If so...can't wait even more. Updated On: 6/9/08 at 12:28 PM

I know this is probably the wrong board for this comment, but I saw LuPone Saturday matinee and thought it was one of the most amazing performances I've ever seen, anywhere, any place. I'd seen her at Encores! last year and was duly impressed. But Saturday just blew me away -- the change to the end was unbelievable. Where she gets the energy to deliver that performance twice a day is beyond me. I'll always be loyal to the memory of Ethel Merman, but this was from another planet. All musical theatre lovers should see this ASAP -- it's a legendary performance and belongs up there with the very best -- Dewhurst, Caldwell, Ashcroft. Absolutely SUPERB -- the theatre, musical or otherwise, doesn't get any better than this. BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

my gosh am i really the only person who finds the who cubby bernstein thing incredibly unhumorous?

Well Patti was the best part of the episode. I'm suprised she agreed to film it though.

I agree with everything you said, Mealz.

Cubby Bernstein is meant to be funny. Hopefully, his efforts will be rewarded on Tony nite. I'm surprised that some people fail to see the humor in all of the episodes. Go figure. from RC in Austin, Texas.... headed to the Big Apple tomorrow.
(Gypsy): June 10th
(Xanadu): June 11th (8 p.m.)
(A Chorus Line): June 12th

Say Hi! YES IT CAN!! from RC in Austin, Texas

Ah, and here I was thinking the Nathan Lane video couldn't be topped! I'm hooked on Cubby.
(sidenote - nice to see my fave Sondheim bio making a cameo!)

HILARIOUS

Posted: 6/9/08 at 1:13pm

I love all of Cubby's videos, and this one is the best by far. and I definitely didn't think they could top Nathan Lane and all those naked boys. Patti's such a good sport for playing with the Xanadu team.

So is Patti endorsing Xanadu for Best Musical?

[CurtainPullDowner]

Posted: 6/9/08 at 1:19pm

She should!

[H.Higgins]

Posted: 6/9/08 at 1:31pm

"Cubby Bernstein...Stine?...Stein."
"They'll have the whole world on a...well, you know!"
"I'll give you an eggroll, Mr. Bernstein."

LOVE it. That was really cute.


Sidenote: Ms. LuPone may be the oldest actress to play Rose on Broadway, but this clip was another reminder of how young she looks. She sure doesn't look like a "Grandma Rose" to me.

Cubby gets 400,000 views!

So it WAS Cynthia Nixon. Thought it looked like her...

Yeah Patti!! Not as funny as the previous video, but that one may just prove to be impossible to top.

[Humbert]

Posted: 6/9/08 at 2:17pm

yes, I think all these people are endorsing XANADU by being involved. 'Cause they know what's up -

[PalJoey]

Posted: 6/9/08 at 3:03pm

I still find Cubby himself grotesque and repulsive and unfunny, but with the participation of Nathan and Cheyenne and Annie and Patti, the campaign has become witty.

Episode #7 is the best one so far! I was laughing out loud for a while after viewing it this morning. Rose is gonna getcha Cubby!

[elphiesmagic]

Posted: 6/9/08 at 3:07pm

I agree, PalJoey. Not only is the character everything you describe, his acting skills are non-existent.

[ElFantasma14]

Posted: 6/9/08 at 3:13pm

Hillarious! And is it just me, or does Patti look a little bit like Judy Kaye in that video? Maybe it's the hair? I don't know, I thought I saw a similarity.
