She doesn't really collapse---she throws herself down on the ground in emotional grief.

I love Patti but I must admit they do make a big deal about her being sick, not feeling good, injured etc.

"me too, givesmevoice. That would be a hoot. Thanks for posting the pic Brody, so we got the visual. It would be even better if she did the part in big fuzzy slippers or slippers that looked like animal paws or something. Actually, isotoners dont seem to offer any support. You would think she might want running shoes or something instead if she hurt her foot. Rose in Asics Gels would be HOT!"
The mental image I just got from your post made me literally laugh out loud. Thanks for that.

Oh my gosh, that would stink so much for you if she couldn't perform. I would've left.

On a side note, is it still true as it used to be that you can get a full refund if a star whose name appears above the title doesn't go on?

Yes.

Yes. Patti missed a performance and everyone who wanted refunds was able to get one.

I asked the usher if Patti was performing before I showed my ticket --- so when they made the announcement before the overture I was shocked for about 3 seconds (seemed like 3 minutes) before they said she'd still be performing, but in Isotoners. (which were plain gray by the way)

Are they gonna make an announcement everytime the woman gets a hangnail?
This is getting out of hand.
At this performance Stew will be performing with a bad case of gas.
At this performance Mr. Feirstein will be performing with a bad case of crabs.
At this performance Ms Bundy will be performing with a rather unseemly rash.
Geez.

^ Yeah, she missed a performance in the first week of May. Her understudy did a good job.

I think it's ridiculous that they made an announcement and referred to her Isotoners by name, but wouldn't you be a little confused if they hadn't and you noticed she was wearing slippers?
When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain.

Maybe they could've just said "Patti will be wearing slippers at this performance because she injured her foot"

Are her shoes even the sort of thing people who haven't seen the show before would notice?
If she's performing in those tomorrow, will there be an understudy slip in the Playbill?

she's really short, so I know I'd be looking at her feet to see her shoes. and then wonder why she was wearing slippers.

When I read this, I thought it was a joke. Has anyone ever heard such announcements made at any other Broadway show they've attended? I know I haven't. Though I would agree that if LuPone does have a bad case of gas, such an announcment might be viewed as a favor to the audience, seeing as there is no orchestra pit between her and them. They could conclude by saying, "so far her gas is only affecting her fellow actors and those of us backstage, but patrons in the first few rows will be given an opportunity to change their seats should the odor interfere with their enjoyment of the show."

Honestly, I bet they just do it for the shock factor. They want to practical joke people before the show.
