10) Patti LuPone, 59, theater actress. She is Broadway. Sorry, Nathan Lane, this diva is the one you want opening your show - most recently the raved-about, Tony-nominated "Gypsy," which sold out its run.

In what universe did Gypsy sell out its run?

It's the Post. They're allowed to fudge the facts in order to make a point.

Exactly, Foster.

^ Both times I went there were a lot of empty seats in the gallery. How is that selling out?

I am sorry, I miss heard then, no need to attack me. Also this thread is turning into a bashing of Ms. Lupone

what thread doesn't?

but good for Patti! and #10 is pretty high considering who else is on the list.

I worry some crazy fan may murder powerful women 1-9.

If they're referring to the Encores run, then The Post is reverting to their usual stance on facts. When I saw Gypsy last summer, I doubt there were more than 50 people total in the entire gallery.

I wasn't attacking, just asking how something is a sell-out when most of the gallery was empty. No attack.

It could very well have sold out with Encores large subscriber base with a fair amount of no-shows.

the quote appears to refer to a "tony-nominated" run being sold out ... that would make it *not* encores, correct?

on the other hand, foster has a point: if the president of the united states can bend the truth to make a fake point, why the F can't the new york post do it to make a real one?!?

Well #10 isn't so bad. But I hear she's going to be #1 in the upcoming "Most overrated" list.

Saw "Gypsy" Friday night and while I liked it a lot, Miss Patti is one of those performers who constantly teeters on the border of genius and outright ham. She's a real force of nature, but I was just as impressed by Boyd and Laura as I was by her.
