Holy crap.
I wonder if this could make Leslie a Broadway household name? I certainly can't wait to hear what she'll sound like pounding out "Meadowlark."

Kritzer is LuPone

Wow, this could be interesting. I actually went to Patti's concert at Les Mouche.

Well, Leslie has the chops and personality to make this a killer concert.

Dottie, I was there too! God, we were young then...

Leslie Kritzer is already a household name in the PalJoey household. I'M VERY EXCITED ABOUT THIS!

PJ, yes, so very, very young!! I was still in high school. I went with a friend and his family for his 17th birthday.

Wow. Wow.

Because the Night? Wow. I wish we could hear Patti's version from the Les Mouches act AND Leslie Kritzer's embodiment of it.

I was there too! Heaven IS a disco! Do you think Leslie will do Patti's choreography (bump and grind) on top of the piano for "Squeeze Me"? Can I sit on your piano, indeed!

PS I saw Patti at Les Mouches the night before she won the Tony. Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice were in the audience. Fun night. Updated On: 9/6/06 at 08:14 PM

i just called to make my reservation and the guy said this is literally almost sold out! a month in advance, it is incredible for a show like this to sell out. if you want to get it, you better call now!

I wish I could be there. I have no babysitter though, so I guess it's gonna be a no...

If you've seen Leslie in anything, then you know the kind of energy she brings to an audience and how people just can't get enough of her.
She was beyond words in Funny Girl and made Hairspray look easy, the (far too few) times she played Tracy. Traler Park finally gave us that glimpse of the talent we knew was there, waiting to bust out. But for those of us who know that this woman can really sing, it was frustrating to not have that. (and yet she STILL gets a Drama Desk nod! incredible) If anything that nod was a vote of confidence that more is to come.
This Patti LuPone tribute sounds awesome, and almost too good to be true. I believe that Leslie has done the role of Evita before (and some sort of Tim Rice tribute concert in London?), so now all those who missed out can finally witness something truly great. Bring it on!
